Our Apple store raised prices way too much for us\u2013the ordinary people. Just for example\u2013Power Mac G5 Dual 1.8 GHz is in Croatia even more expensive than Dual 2.5 GHz in the U.S.A.

This Dual 1.8 were 4 times faster than our fastest PC (P4 3GHz)  in rendering Radial Blur over the Rendered Clouds in Photoshop. We fell in love. When this first euphoria passed, i looked up for browsers installed to start some testing. Safari and IE 5.2.3. were already there by default, but we also wanted to see web sites  in Camino. The first thing i wondered was \u201cHow do we install anything on Mac?\u201d. Browsed to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/products\/camino\/\">Camino homepage<\/a>, clicked at download link, took a few moments to download, and the next thing i\u2019ve been asked was to place Camino icon where i want it!!?

On the other hand\u2013as i expected\u2013in IE\/Mac  the web site is a mess&#8230; (i will have to spend some time now to debug it).<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, i\u2019m rethinking my hardware-upgrade-financial-plan in order to somehow afford me \u2018the Monster\u2019 G5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once you feel it, you don&#8217;t want anything else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[26,30,31,28,32],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.maratz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.maratz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.maratz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.maratz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.maratz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.maratz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.maratz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.maratz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.maratz.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
