Have fun with Mac OS X Leopard!!

This is my first blog post.

PowerPC resurrection is a blog that will "resurrect" PowerMacs. I believe that PowerPCs are still great computers and that there is nothing wrong with them. True they are already past there prime, but I can do basically everything I need on my iBook G4. PowerPCs are basically macs with a different processor. Instead of Intel Core, PowerPC has PowerPC Architecture. The last ones were produced in 2006.

Now I will give you 5 tips about PowerPC

1. Flash runs horribly on PowerPC, so are you unable to watch your youtube videos? No problem, you can download a handy application called YouView. This app can stream youtube videos at 480p. 

You can download it at: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30342/youview

2. Your web browser is painfully slow? Well I got a solution, try WebKit, a browser based on Safari. Webkit is very fast, especially on PPC

You can download it at: https://www.webkit.org/

3. Do you want to watch movies from DVDs but you are sick of DVD Player? Well there is VLC media player. It plays DVDs just fine.

You download it at: http://www.oldapps.com/mac/vlc_player.php?old_vlc_player=44

4. Do you want to convert .AVI to .MP4? But you don't have an Intel mac? Well their is a great app called  Handbrake that does the job on PowerPC.

You download it at: http://www.oldapps.com/mac/handbrake.php?old_handbrake=22

5. Do want to play music on your iPod Touch but you don't have a version of Itunes that can sync your iPod? Well, it's easy as downloading the later version of itunes. (does not support iPod 5 or iPhone 5 sadly)

You download it at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575

This applications were tested on my iBook G4, 1.33 GHZ with 768 megabytes of RAM, running OS X LEOPARD. If you are running OS X Tiger, then you might not be able to run these apps.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment. I'll be happy to answer :)
