"A week with a G4 - Are they obsolete In this video I tackle the question of the PowerPC G4 and if it is actually obsolete already. So I force myself to go an entire week using nothing but computers powered by a G4 processor and find out whether I can live with it. In the end I discovered that as long as you don't mind using some software that is slightly out-of-date (IE: Photoshop final-cut-pro) there is very little that you can't do on one of these. Also I would mention that when I made the video Camino was the best browser. However I now recommend TenFourFox as the best browser for PowerPC"

"A week with a G4 - Are they obsolete In this video I tackle the question of the PowerPC G4 and if it is actually obsolete already. So I force myself to go an entire week using nothing but computers powered by a G4 processor and find out whether I can live with it. In the end I discovered that as long as you don't mind using some software that is slightly out-of-date (IE: Photoshop final-cut-pro) there is very little that you can't do on one of these. Also I would mention that when I made the video Camino was the best browser. However I now recommend TenFourFox as the best browser for PowerPC"
