The collected works of foetz - Page 7

good hints from Timberoz but keep in mind you need to learn flint & co and you can only work with uncompressed material.
as i said i doubt that's the right thing for you according to your first post.

While I don't plan to put anything besides IRIX on my SGI MIPS machines

likewise. both

yes, sadly marketing sells more than anything these days

Maybe you were out too long. SAQ does MIPS3 nekoware builds.

ah, nice
however i've never been much into nekoware anyway

you can do all of that with an sgi an depending on your setup you'll never have dropped frames but the setup needed to achive that is quite heavy.
normally on sgi you have more or less 2 choices:
get really serious or not much at all.

great!
thanks!!

great, thanks for the link.
a blast from the past

thanks again

had it running back then.
not bad for a free app

silly question but is something in the shoehorn? a card?

command line was/is almost always better

if you don't use it you can uninstall nfs.sw.nis

that's the big plus compared to a tezro. you can expand the o350s just like that

trial was fine. although i never felt at home in the same way as with some other well known systems.
but it's a personal pref. of course.

i have used SL since the 10a380 but so far there's nothing that would make me wanna switch. quite the contrary frankly.

the gfx performance is worse than 10.5, filesystem perf. also and i have problems with the color profiles. don't like the new default gamma etc. at all. also booting takes much longer although the 10.6 disk is much faster than the 10.5 disk

as long as there're no apps with grand central and/or opencl support 10.5 is the better choice. let alone the ppc support and the age what makes it quite mature.

i'm not using a real mac. but the boot time doesn't bother me. just wanted to mention it.

it's not just the gamma. even after adjusting that it still looks somewhat bleached. really nasty on the eyes. just like when someone is playing with the levels in photoshop and doesn't know what he's doing

anyway that aside i just see no reason for making 10.6 my main osx. as i said unless grand central and opencl apps are released ...

i hate them
on 10.5 i had all entries in one list at a glance. now i have to go through (sometimes) several lists to the right. takes me twice the time to use it. no improvement at all

yes. but you have to mount it by hand with the rw option.

what do you need screensavers for?

indeed. i'm always stocking up granite kb and mice as good as i can

shipping to me wouldn't pay off but thanks for giving it to some apple-chaner
