Oh well. Just found an error in the original post. I've got to the point in TFA where he's listing the systems, and it's not a "Dual core" G5 he compares it to but a dual processor one.
This is the exact reason Apple chose to support OpenGL and scrap QuickDraw and QuickDraw 3D. That way they are sure that most third party video cards can be used, and in Tiger they even made a new component, ImageCore which is an interface to OpenGL that can be used by any app.
Before this happened, Apple either needed to make the drivers or let third party video card vendors make them specifically for QuickDraw. Since Apple has shopped around between ATi and Nvidia using OpenGL makes sense.
I use SlashDock on Mac OS X. It's really great, because I just rightclick on the icon in the dock when I want to check for new developments on my favourite websites. It's very convenient especially when at work.
Oh yeah, you can choose the update frequencees individually, and it starts the schedule on app launch, so it's radomized properly too.
Last time I checked my crystal ball, it was reported that version 10.4.6 of Mac OS X "Cougar" will only be available for the G6 processor. Expect that Virtual PC 7 will be broken by either this particular version or by the PowerMac G6. Microsoft can't determine.
Remember though that Mac OS X 10.4 as such will be called Cougar. Key features will be Exploite, Kliche, iSee and Safari version 2 (the one that finally supports ). Users will either be extatic, claim that all sorts of bus has not been fixed, or go on about in all the forums that 95% of the 150 new features are just features from Mac OS 9 that have finally resurfaced.
In 2006 however, Microsoft will release a product called Cougaar and sue the Cougaar programmers for unauthorized use of the Cougaar trademark. The Cougaar group will hire the attorney that helped IBM to bury SCO, and Microsoft will face hardship.
You need to analyze it properly: X11 means you're using the X11 window manager (X Window) U stands for Unix HP-UX 9000/785 means that you probably have a HP 9000 with OS build 785. Build 785 happens to be v 10.20 en-US means your language is English and that you are located in the US rv is the revision of Mozilla (1.4 in your case)
It's actually the same on Windows. Windows XP is written as Windows NT 5.1 for example.

Actually a 3rd series with 6 half hour episodes aired in autumn 2004.
