Re:From a Completely Different Perspective

On: DTV Transition - One Year Later

I agree. Even though I can get very high signal strengths, some stations/channels still get drop outs (audio and picture losses) even if I am under 20 miles from most transmitters in Mt. Wilson. Like last night's Lakers vs. Celtics game, I lost some audio and picture a few times even though I signal strength was high (75% to 100%). :( With analog feeds, I would just get an unclear but still viewable feeds. :(

Better than 10.2.8 with 512 MB of RAM? It's already slow enough. I am afraid to upgrade to make things even slower. :(

I have an old 15" PowerBook G4 with 512 MB of RAM, dial-up, WEP wireless, etc.

What runs well on it since its Mac OS X 10.2.8 and softwares are outdated these days.

For me, better.

It makes me more social, knowledgeable, etc. since I can interact, communicate (have speech and hearing impediments, and don't like being out in public), explore, etc. Much better than being lonely and isolated (still physically limited due to my disabilities).
