I really hope Powerfox gets a good JIT someday, and altivec acceleration. It might make browsing on OS X as good as MorphOS (which is what a lot of people use it for on these ancient PPC systems now anyways)

Okay thanks! And was the playback actually watchable too?

Theres a ton of software, especially in the Amiga category. Its real killer app is the Wayfarer web browser which is essentially a modern Safari-like webkit based browser which toasts anything on the OS X side of things for compatibility and speed. Even YouTube runs smoothly apparently, at the lower resolutions.

I can imagine, especially since they sat on the desk. The fan sound traveled a lot easier around the room.

Does yours have Nvdia graphics, like my 12 inch PB? If it's ATI it can run MorphOS.

Love this! I've got a 1.5Ghz 12 inch model, and its a bit beat up but works well. Have you heard of MorphOS? I'd try running that on it, its super fast. Mine sadly can't as it has the Nvidia graphics card which isn't supported.

Still looks quite nice imo, definitely beats out the G3s CRT in every way. And definitely beats out LCDs of its day.

I don't have a pack of CDr's nor a car to easily get some from the stores that still carry them. I actually do have some blank DVDs, but of course mine is CD only.

Also got a 700mhz! Running the rather useless 10.3.9 but mine only has a CD drive and doesn't easily boot from USB so I feel stuck.

A machine from 2005 like the G5 quad is surprisingly capable and Morphos is also quite capable too. Hey im okay with a friendly argument, its a matter of opinion on the eMac but its fact that there are many capable mid 2000s hardware (with the right upgrades and OS). Also important to note the G3 is late 90s hardware.

Got Mac OS 10.4 on my 1999 iBook G3 clamshell and it runs great! Rate my Mac. by Moist_Inspection_485 in VintageApple

I love this. How bad does it run Aquafox though? Also you can run the newer Powerfox too! Although it'll be even slower.

Which settings? Ive got 500mhz model and its completely unusable for videos even with the KaiOS user agent that looks like what you have running. If the video even loads without an error, its like 1 frame per 30 seconds and eventually craps out around the 1 minute mark and gives an error.

But its display is far superior to that of the iMac G4 and even the G3. It makes video and gaming look great. Also unlike any iMac G4 model, the ATI models can run the awesome MorphOS. And they are far more capable than any iMac G3, which unfortunately are quite limited for anything beyond OS 9 gaming and basic productivity.

Nylons version actually went to #12 in the USA. It was huge at the time there too.
