honestly it's cool how the g4 mac can have its cpu resource graph at 100% choking on some web page but other applications continue to work fine. like this thing has a single 1ghz core

@kirakira Mac OS X was weirdly good at managing one task holding up the entire machine.

I remember back when PPC was just about getting left behind by the web, I could leave the browser chewing on something and happily use another app without too much fuss. Quite impressive given the resources available!

@LightTheUnicorn yeah, I remember when I got my childhood imac realizing that no matter how hung up it got, the arrow was always responsive (compared to windows xp where the whole thing could hitch)
