(Note: Will only work on 10.4.11+, G4 or G5) The Spotify app works perfect on my 867Mhz TiBook (10.4.11) and on my other PPC machines. Spotify, on the other hand, loves our PPC Macs.

Sure, we all have Pandora Radio on our Android or iOS devices, but any PPC user knows that Pandora Radio is just not that friendly for most of our machines. That’s the best part about Spotify! Find what you want, listen to it, and create your own radio stations.
Who doesn’t love having control over their radio? Or who hasn’t spent hours searching for one specific song that you want to listen to that has been stuck in your head for days? Well, I love having complete control over what I want to listen to, and I get A LOT of songs stuck in my head everyday. This is a continuation of my post from yesterday, and it’s all about the apps that I love and use the most. My tablet now happily resides on my desk with a permanent home in front of my G4 mini, and is used daily for a variety of tasks outside of my Photoshop projects.

An eBay search, with lots of heavily used tablets, gave me my Holy Grail used once, extra pen tips, and only $60 with free shipping.Ĭolor this photographer happy! Not only did I get what I wanted under my budget, but I learned a huge lesson in being a classic machine owner: forget shopping in stores, our only hope is online. Simple, compatible, small, and fairly up-to-date. My final choice: the Wacom Bamboo CTL460. Half of what I found I was forced to rule out due to their size since I didn’t have an actual desk yet and had to work in my lap on the couch, while the other half gave me so many different options I had trouble deciding on what to buy. What I discovered was whole lines of products out there that met all of my needs and then some. It paid off! Wacom tablets have the benefit of never truly becoming too dated, just like our PowerPC’s. My final hope was eBay and some Google-fu with crossed fingers. Every tablet I found had the minimum 10.6 requirement in the store except for two from Wacom that required 10.5.

A new computer was out of the question I was lucky to have my budget for this as it was and I didn’t have my 10.5.8 upgrade yet. They all had every thing I wanted, minus compatibility. I had to have something that was going to work on 10.4.11, wouldn’t take up a lot of space, and wouldn’t eat up the $80 budget that I had set aside.Ī search through Fry’s Electronics, Best Buy, MicroCenter, Walmart, and several art supply stores yielded zero results. When I began my search last year (right around this time, actually) for a compatible device, I truly began to think that I was never going to find anything current, affordable, and high quality. (I just need a little more oomph under the polyurethane to finish all my new projects!)Īs a photographer and a PowerPC user, I realized that there are only a handful of tablet options out there for designing and editing. I’ve even been contemplating turning it into a little server! So, don’t worry-I haven’t forgotten about the PowerPC and how it’s still useful, nor will I ever give up on the best little machines Apple ever produced.
I still play all of my old games on it and use it for music management. That being said, I still use my mini as much as I possibly can. While I can still do all of my Photoshop-ing and Flash builder-ing on those computers, it can take forever to load a simple filter and would take me three times longer to complete a composite or finalized photograph than it does with the MacBook. (And I mean WAAAAAAAY more!) While I love my PowerPC machines, they have been holding me back on my productivity with my photography and graphic design needs and are now basically regulated to gaming. I acquired, off a buy/sell/trade group on Facebook, a 2008 MacBook and it has taken over as my primary machine, as it is by far more powerful than my other computers and has way more storage space. I’ve finally given over to the ‘dark side’ and purchased my first Intel. Well, after a long hiatus that I really have zero reason for having taken, I am back to the blogging world and plan to be at it for a long time! I’ve made some changes to my machine line up.
