I am running 1.42GHz G4 Mac Mini with 512mb of memory (needs 1024mb upgrade soon)
G4 is original Apple computer, thats why i wanted G4 even i knew Intel was coming.

So far no problems, i will get intel based someday but i let it evolve for while.[/B]

As soon as they switched to the x86 architecture, I figured it would only be a matter of time until someone took advantage of it.

Advantage of what?[/B]

The advantage of being able to write viruses/malicious software that'd be directly dependent upon the x86 instruction set, which is typically what *effective* viruses aim do. Others simply use software holes to execute a desired function, or just to mess with you and allocate all of your memory to an uneeded application. The PPC G-series that have been used in Mac's lately do NOT support the intel x86 instruction set - and hardly anyone (myself included) understands the f*cked up way that AIM (Apple-IBM-Motorola) created the PPC Architecture Instruction set... it's sincerely a pain in the ass. Ever wonder why games aren't created for the Mac's anymore? It's because they just aren't as easy to develop for.

Bleh, anyway - if I get a chance to photoshop anything later, i'll take a whack at it.

Bah, photoshop actually runs faster on the Windows OS thus far, till it's redesigned to run on the new x86 Mac's. I have a Powerbook G3 @ 333MHz that runs Photoshop CS2 -- it's simply amazing taht the old bugger still turns out good chops. Either way, photoshop is photoshop. It doesn't matter what platform you play on.

That laptop is a pain in the ass to chop.. The shadowing makes it difficult to select the laptop at all, and when you change the hue of some things, you have to erase the bits that you don't want changed. Gah, that and there's not much to do with it other than to skin it, give the LCD something to display, and/or choose to make a background or put the laptop somewhere else. Basically, that's a dud of a chop. o_o

The truck is a bit easier. Simply using the clone tool you can get rid of most of the decals, the wing (stupid looking), and do a few other things to.

WOW, that looks like #### at home. I made that at work on a 19' CRT, and on my 21' LCD at home it looks like utter shite. :<
