So I’m up late updating my miniature painting blog and generally reading about miniature painting. When I notice my laptop wants to update. I ignore it for a while. Then I see what it is and it is a new version of iTunes. No biggie, no need to reboot, so I let it download. It updates my library, now my iPhone, but the big news is it has a new icon…

So I listen to and own a lot of music. I’m also a Mac user and have steadily upgraded my old Sawtooth G4 over the years, last year I put probably 1000 dollars into it. It has a new CPU, more RAM, a new big fast hard drive, the control card for that drive, an extra USB PCI card that adds USB 2.0 and an M-Audio Transit…

I just up and bought it as I was tired of the limitations of my pay as you go phone which I got temporarily over two years ago…

During my recent upgrade ordeal, or perhaps one of the hopes I had while upgrading my G4 was to do more with my music collection…

I have an old G4 PowerMac Tower, a 400MHz “Sawtooth” model. One of the many selling features was the CPU was on a daughter card. It has served me and my family well since I bought it. I mainly use it to store and play music now, but when I learned it was too slow to run the latest version of OS X I decided to upgrade…
