Installing Al's PowerMac G5

READ FIRST: It was a long time ago in a condo not so far away...

Well, if you've followed my videos and Alfred's (adiblasi), you could have guessed that we filmed this. In December 2003 I got to unbox and set up Al's then-brand-new PowerMac G5, all on camera, of course.

READ AFTER: A couple of explanations: WLIR was a radio station that Al and I used to listen to on Long Island, way back when. It's frequency was 92.7, hence I refer to September 27 ad "WLIR day".

The facial hair was an aberration. While I did have if for a few years, it's just too hot here in South Florida to keep a beard...

You can find Al's many videos at:

I just bought an iBook g4 a few months ago on amazon, it still runs everything except flash awesomely, plus I just installed a hacked ver. of 10.6.7 on my AMD quad core, and in system profiler it says it has a 53Ghz, yes, Ghz core solo. I thought that was pretty interesting

@c4pt1n54n0 I'd like to see that. Can you get a screen snap of the System Profiler and post it somewhere?

@cmarshall1018 Get an Intel based Mac. the PowerPC is being left behind.

wow thanks for posting this. it was very informative. i have never witnessed such an ability to remove something from a box and plug it in. i will definitely reference this video when i have a box with an electrical appliance in it, and need to get it out.

thanks again

@theegrobe Glad I could help. Look for my series of upcoming videos wherein I demonstrate how to change a light bulb, how to make a sandwich, and how to tie your shoes without tying them together. I think that last one will be especially helpful for you. Thanks for watching!

Ahhh...the PowerMac G5. Simply, Apple's best invention to date. For 2005, where could you find a Quad Core Processor, up to 8GB of RAM, and a 500GB Hard Drive? Nowhere! The design of this machine is also epic, still being the main design of the Mac Pro (except the Mac Pro had some tweaks). My cousin still has one of these bad boys, the Quad G5, hooked up to a 23" Cinema Display and it's just speechless. Apple FTW

It ISN'T a Mac. According to Apple's philosophy - its only ugly PC. Veru eseless and it suck. But we all know that PowerMAC brings power of PC for Mac. For only doubled PC price! Wow!

[c4pt1n54n0]

@ThisIsAdamB sure ill put it on my channel within a few hours

[winfr34k]

I love how you unboxed the G5!

[electrotech555]

Ha, I like the thing about the yield sign, pretty funny. I remember when my only Mac was the G4, wow. I thought it was pretty fast and am currently using an imac g4 for my machine downstairs.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with owning PowerPC macs. As an owner of a 2010 mac pro, I make far more use of my G5 than my mac pro in most cases, EXCEPT for heavy duty stuff.

[kargaroc386]

Hmm... I remember a video where you installed Mac OS X (tiger, I think) and you started speaking the words that it said in the little intro video. I can't find it anymore...
