It's amazing how even hardcore computer geeks become totally dumb when it comes to their Macs. You don't what CPU is in your computer? Really? And you've been hacking around computers for decades now?
There's two things to discuss here. The first is that I appreciate you making Hugor and putting out support for older Macs.
That can never be in question.
But you are right, I don't give a shit what's in the Macbook they gave me at work. The OS is so awful that I haven't had a chance to think about what processor is in there.
I do love that the Macintosh was dominated by the "PC" and they let their CPU be called the "PowerPC." Everything they do is dumb and awkward.
I gave up trying to keep up on video standards, as far as cards went, years ago, by the way. I used to have that shit DOWN. Now I don't even know what random string of letters and numbers would sound good. Do they still make GeForces?
