I had installed the OSX on my blue & white G3, but it was too painful 
to use. Then installed 10.1. It was better but I didn't use OSX that 
much. After I upgraded the ram to 1 GHz  I used OSX more. I felt that 
it would not interfere with the real work I had to do.

Just this week I got my new 2x1GHz G4 with 1.5 GHz ram and the 2 80 
Gig ATA drives. What a difference. It is incredible.

I just ran MacAPRS and it filled the whole 22 inch monitor. it was 
beautiful. Then I installed some of the detailed maps that I had made 
that were too slow to use on the Blue &  White. Every map snapped 
into its window in a fraction of a second.

Nothing like a little horsepower to make some of this work.
