Re: What to do with the G5's power
Or maybe there will be a freak radiation leak while you're using your G5. Combined with lightening striking your home, transferring the awesome power of the G5 into your body, making you G5 Man (Woman?). You'll be able to... um... well... um... yeah...

Re: What to do with the G5's power
I'm writing a world simulator as a hobby. I've got 1.8GB of terrain data (all of planet Earth, at 1km resolution) and a means of displaying it in real time 3D nearly working (paging map 'chunks' out from a compressed file).
Once I'm there, I plan to add in simple (low-res) weather simulation, better terrain modelling, rivers and seas, and maybe go to 100m resolution.
Currently I'm on a G4/1GHz, so it's slow going. I'll be able to do the entire project on this Mac, but a G5 would allow me to keep the entire world model in RAM, greatly speeding the thing, plus I'd be able to model weather systems at the same resolution as the map (I'm planning to start at 20km weather 'cells' and move smaller if I can get it fast enough).
And then when I add in the city/town simulation and animals, I think I'll need to upgrade.
It started out as a simple 2D RPG...
