Comments on: PowerMac G4 http://cogscanthink.blogsome.com/2008/10/12/powermac-g4/ I'm a mere, tiny, insignificant cog in a whole clockwork of stupidity. I'm the tiny cog that wants to break free.

There's nothing funky about it anymore. You’re 100% right Thom about Apple’s design having declined.

The only problem, is, of course, that ATi Rage, which doesn't support Quartz Extreme, so screen drawing is sluggish. With a nice cheap Radeon 7500 or GeForce 2mx, however, that problem could be fixed. But I don't think I'd put the Power Mac G4 in <i>quite</i>the same league as the stunning Cube or iMac G4.
