@Op U doing a great Job here.. More Juice in your cabinet...

My Love for any Apple's product is unending. The IOS, OSX among others.. the shortcuts on d Keyboard (Exposés & Spaces) though I still use d Old Mac PowerBook G4 which it's incomparable to any PC, Maleeq Guy doesn't know anything about Mac...

My question goes thus... I wanna repair my G4 screen, any idea on that & how can I get a webcam that will work for my MAC POWERBOOK G4. thanks

We need someone to donate a MacBook Pro to Maleeq. After a few weeks with it, he will drop the windows format like a sack of potatoes.

Repairing or replacing your G4 screen might be very tricky.As it is a model that is very out of date I'm not sure how readily available parts for it might be. There is a tutorial video on youtube on how to replace the screen. I suggest you try searching Amazon for replacement screens.
I know someone who has used a Logitech Quickcam Vision pro for years on his powerbook G4 without any problems.I think amazon might be your best friend here again. Just do a search for webcams compatible with your Powerbook G4.
In order to continue enjoying the many benefits the Mac OS architecture has to offer, I suggest your best option might be actually upgrading your mac to a newer model that is capable of smoothly running the latest OS.

Still waiting for the mac donation o! I accept cash too!

Olisa74: Apple has introduced the Fusion Drive to the world. Will PC manufactures catch on?

Really? I have used an ASUS machine from 2011 with that setup...on windows! Apple is simply "coining a trademark: Fusion Drive".

On my lenovo currently, I've got an SSD/SATA drive combo. I could simply remap/re-install my OS files (root, bin, opt) to the SSD, map my home directory to the SATA drive and bingo!! I have individually replicated the revolutionary FUSION Drive

Seriously, Its been around before Apple coined this trademark...if it wasn't, you and I know Apple would have patented it sharply!

ditto

my program files and windows files reside on my ssd

profiles reside on my hdd

any disk hogging folders (MSO cache, Installer etc) reside on my hdd and are linked via junctions to my ssd

You guys are missing the point. The technology is not new, but the way Apple have implemented it into the OS is.

What the Fusion Drive is not:
Do not confuse the Fusion Drive with a Cache or Hybrid drive. Cache drives, like Intel Smart Response Technology, are found in performance desktops as well as many of the latest ultrabooks. Caching uses a small amount of SSD or Flash storage (16GB to 32GB is common) to help speed up repeatable tasks like booting and waking from sleep. The cache drives are invisible to the user, and don't count as "real" storage. (1TB 5,400 hard drive + 32GB mSATA SSD yields 1TB of storage.) It's the same with self-contained Hybrid drives like the Seagate Momentus XT. The Fusion Drive shows as 1.12TB of storage space, which is the 1TB hard drive plus the storage from the 128GB Flash storage.

You never have to manage it. The Fusion Drive is set up at the factory; you never have to fiddle with any settings. THE DRIVE AUTOMATICALLY MOVES often-used programs and files from the hard drive to the Flash storage and back, depending on how often you use an item. If you ever have to reinstall the operating system, OS X Mountain Lion (10. and future versions will automatically set up Fusion Drive for you, even if you need to reformat your main drive.

So, you admit they copied? or you still think its as revolutionary as a rounded-edge rectangle?

And my SDD isn't invisible. I fitted it, and I have full read/write to it. Besides, I consider the user having the option of pushing files "he considers important/frequent" to the SSD as more powerful than having the OS move files it considers for me!

Tnx @Op for this opportunity. I was developing mobile apps on a windows pc. It later crashed and I had to go for a Macbook pro...I have already partitioned the hard disk for both Mac OS and Windows 7 OS. But the challenge am currently faced with is that of the right drivers to enable all the functionality of windows on my mac. An example is the wireless lan which cannot detect any wifi within range. How best do I resolve this issue? Thanks in anticipation.

Do you need mac o s x 10.6 operating system or os x application software, please be precise.
For the mac os x Operating system you need to buy one from a retailer and install it.
