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.

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 :)
