I will when my Ti-Book is ready, take the components out, flip the
monitor around, mount them in a picture frame, hang it on the wall and
run a screensaver with all my photos changing every 5 min or so. Neat
little picture frame with 5,000 + pictures that randomly change.
If you have an airport card in it you can add or remove pictures
without ever touching it. ANd to solve the power problem have your
favorite electrician drop a power box into the wall behind the frame
and like magic it runs for ever.

This is much easier to do in Snow Leopard which now has the same gamma as
Windows.

You could recalibrate your monitor to match Windows gamma. You may still need to
tweak gamma settings when creating files but at least you're looking at a
display with the same gamma setting as Windows rather than painting by numbers.

A bit displeased with my current bunch of WMVs - the blacks and midtones of what
I see on the PC aren't what I'm seeing in the source QT.

I'm using Squeeze 5 - anyone have a nice "windows gamma" filter setting to
share?

OK to keep it on topic, I have no problem running FCP 5.0.4 on this system and
it might even run FCP6.

A Dual 800 with Leopard works just fine if you're doing basic DV editing.

As I mentioned before it runs Phone Valet for my VIDEO business. Old Macs do
just fine handling many non video tasks for your video business so I hope it's
topical enough. There's no reason to pay $599 on a new MacMini for such tasks.

You lead Final Cut NLE today may still be able to do small projects and answer
your phone nearly 10 years from now. Try doing that on your 10 year old Windows
Adobe Premiere system (or even Avid).

It's very easy to do. I believe it installs into parameter ram and then you
install Leopard from the retail install disk by tricking it into thinking you
meet the 867MHz PPC minimum.

OT conversations are usually tolerated here on FCP-L. But let's keep those
OT conversations brief.

We've covered enough ground in the Dead Ti-Book thread. Kerry doesn't (well,
shouldn't) need more input from us.

So on to the next issue...

Craig, please tell me the 'minor hack' used to make your dual 800 run
Leopard.  I'm in the same boat.  Damned thing is a workhorse. No
sense in tossing it.  I would just like to keep it somewhat current.

Last year I finally gave away a Beige G3 with EditDV and the non standard
firewire card used with it. The Beige G3 itself was capable of running OS
10.2.8. The built in Zip drive failed and the external SCSI hard drive failed. I
gave it to a friend to give to their church since they needed a very basic
computer for word processing and such.

I have a Dual 800 still going quite strong. With a minor hack it runs Leopard
just fine although iPhoto 09 is very slow. Amongst other things, it's the office
answering machine running Phone Valet.

Hey I still collect or even buy old iMac G3's and give them to Cub
Scout Troups as instant replay devices for Pinewood Derby racing.

iMovie/OS9/DV works fine and no funky VGA adaptors to lose.

Most of all; no one wants to steal it from them, so they last years!

When I can afford a new laptop I'm thinking my G4 powerbook will

Jeepers, I still have a 9600 that refuse to toss - it still runs great!

If you can just replace the hard drive cheaply, I would say go ahead.

We have an old clamshell iBook that one the the guys writes on. That's
it. Its not good for much else but it still has some life in it.

I also have a Bondi Blue iMac that i still use as a label printer. It
just won't die and the label printers won't either.

If you need more then I would say move on up and get a new laptop.

Our 512 Mac (later upgraded to a Mac Plus) is on display in the hall,
above a 1950s mahogany veneer 405-line television.

That Mac was our first business computer 20 years ago. Remember
swapping between the program and data floppies?

Computers were never going to be fast enough to deal with video...

If you were moving to a small apartment tomorrow would you pack it to
take with you?

If yes, keep it. If no, recycle...

When I can afford a new laptop I'm thinking my G4 powerbook will
retire as a music device permanently hooked to my stereo. I bet you
can buy a used hard drive for pretty little money.

Who says the folks on this list can't be compassionate?

I'm going to print this reply and paste it up on my wall.

Of course, I can't remember the last time I used this computer for billable
work. Oh wait, it was April 2008 and that was only as a backup when my then
iMac died. So it isn't that I consider this an investment, rather an old
friend. Perhaps I should have it stuffed and hung from the wall. Hmmmmmmm.

I'd say, if your time is free, and only if your time is free, you
could simply get another hard drive and put it in yourself. Should be
worth the 80 bucks or you might pay to have a machine that is somewhat
workable. I usually buy hard drives at mwave.com, they have the
cheapest prices.

Do not spend more than $80.00 in, is my advice.

Awww, Bob.  Many of us have fond memories  of our G4s and the profits
they made.  It's hard to layoff, much less kill, a good trouper.

And before you ask:  I'm trying to retire and my money is better

If you give me your address, I will come over with a hammer, and beat the
crap out of your "first MAC", and show you how
much emotion I have over your first 8 year old investment.   It makes me
warm all over, just knowing that anything you buy today to
replace this "old horse" will NEVER last 8 years anymore.  No more long
investements for you - -EVER.  You will spend, and spend and spend,
over and over and over again (and so will your clients) or you won't stay in
this business very long.

A bit OT, but after checking out The Door Post Film Project, I'm very
intrigued as to where their funding comes from. The standard PR fluff is
very. fluffy.



Does anyone know any more?

Kerry,

Is this a trick question?  ;-)

> Kerry Soloway  wrote:

Yes.

> Is it time to retire this old horse?

It was time 4 years ago.

- Oliver

The hard drive on my almost 8-year old Ti-Book died last week. It was
replaced last in 2005 just before its AppleCare expired. It's second battery
no longer lets me use it off of the grid. Although it was originally my
editing computer (FCP 3 since upgraded to 5), the fact that it doesn't run
Motion kept me from using it except for the most elementary projects. I
can't recall the last time I used it for FCP.

The hinge is flaky, so the screen will occasionally go black and I'll have
to close the top and re-open it to get the screen to display. Still, I am
inclined to replace the hard drive and continue to use it just for e-mails
and web browsing at home, although I have an iMac in my home office. Am I
simply being too sentimental? Is it time to retire this old horse? (As
already stated, the HD was replaced once as was the battery, and the screen
replaced once.)

The one thing that it offers me is a machine to continue to run FCP 5 on
when I bring home work from my clients that have yet to upgrade to FCS 2 or
3. Otherwise I just use my iMac for my own editing.

Any thoughts?

Kerry

And by the way, since you brought it up, we have several cases of NEW IMX
tape if anyone is using the format.

We also have quite a bit of new SX.

the great thing is, it won top prize. i hope to see more from the
director sooner rather than later..

the Rift was pretty well done too.. a few odd camera movements or
framings, but the story telling was pretty darn good, and the
execution of it just as well..
