Quad G5 almost fast enough

When is a Quad G5 Power Mac the first Mac that is just fast enough for a user's purposes? Perhaps you're thinking of folding proteins, modeling the human genome, or searching for intelligent life in the Universe? Nope, when you're a very fast typist.

At least according to Pierre Igot that's the case. You see, Pierre uses a program called Spell Catcher X to provide a single system wide spell checker (with one custom dictionary). Every time he would use the automatic replacement option and then type very quickly it would screw up, however, not so with his new Quad G5. Therefore, Pierre says, the computer isn't 'more than fast enough,' as many people say, but rather it is now becoming just fast enough.

Quad G5 exposed

The images that James DuBois has posted here may not be suitable for young children and the elderly. You have been warned.

James ripped apart his Quad G5 just to see what it looks like, and bless his heart for it. That is one serious machine, I just hope James knows how to put it all back together.

Tip of the Day

Holding the Command key (aka the Apple key) and pressing Tab will cycle through your open applications. It's easier to Cmd-Tab if you are Copy (Cmd-C) and Pasting (Cmd-V) to and from various applications.
