I am happy to report that I have successfully installed my FCP4 on my G3 Pismo laptop! Man, that is an amazing laptop. The program runs smooth as silk. Although figuring out the hack was anything but smooth. ;) 1 gig of ram doesn't hurt. 5400rpm drive or faster doesn't hurt. Patience...it doesn't hurt either... I did this because I now DISPISE the iceBooks in both G3 and G4 varieties, and because my TiBook feels...I don't know...feels less enjoyable. Wait, that last remark doesn't feel reliable. Oh well, maybe I did it because it was there. I wonder what that G4 upgrade in the ol' Pismo would do. I am considering it. Any thoughts? R
