The long-awaited video is finally released. Members can watch it here, ad-free. It is being released on YouTube today as well, if you prefer to watch videos there.

When I was testing the ad placement on YouTube, an ad for Alibaba came on, using cheese graters as an example of how good their prices are! What?! ... I can't avoid that G5 nickname!

Now the intro:

The Power Macintosh G5 was was released in 2003 into a sea of technological challenges and change. What looked like the next great chapter for PowerPC ended up bringing it to an end. I talk about how it all went down and interesting details about the machine along the way. From the 1.6GHz low-end machine to the top-end "G5 Quad". The all metal accessible case, the water-cooled CPU, 64-bit, OS X, new monitors and a karaoke machine companion product.

Thanks for all your support to get this made. I hope everyone enjoys the video.

P.S. I chuckled when I saw you paying for a vintage Mac with vintage Canadian bills. I haven't seen one of those since I was a kid!

Ha! I'm glad you commented on that. I've done that joke before with seemingly no reaction. So, in the next video I laid down a 1937 $100 bill, and said, "Canadian money looks weird, eh?". No response to that joke either.

Certainly worth the wait! So many great little jokes and details! How long do you think it will be before CanadianTire money is worth more than face value? :) Lovely dedication at the end. Sending a virtual hug to you, Mr. Scribe. Hope you're doing alright.

I'm sure there is a collector's market for Canadian Tire money, too. Now that the video is out, I can watch some other content. First in line is yours, which I'm extremely late to the party on. Thanks for the friendly support over the past few months. Glad you liked the end result!

11:20 - I actually have one of the (probably few) re-released MDD PMG4 2x1.25 GHz models. I had a lot of doubts about whether it was the final 2003 version, or the first-gen MDD, but my machine lacks FW800, the graphics card is a giveaway, and the build date that SN decoder sites report back make my machine look like it's one of those rarities. It's a very peppy machine, even with 10.5 installed and even compared next to my M3 MBP, BUT... it's loud as hell so I rarely leave it run. And it's even louder under MacOS 9. Found this unit at shopgoodwill, where I also found my 2x1.0 GHz QS... but more on that machine later! :) 15:18 - Karaoke machine? LOL LOL LOL! 1:02 - Where is she now?
