Updating iStat Menus, Pages, Numbers and Keynote

Today, I install some applications for my iBook i5. They are, namely, iStat Menus, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.

Installing iStat Menus, Pages, Keynote and Numbers in McDonald's.

The iStat Menus is the tool monitoring the hardware of the Mac, including the CPU and RAM usage, network speed, battery life, fan speed and temperature. 

One could even use the iStat Menus to manupulate the fan speed.

I bought previous version of iStat Menus months ago to monitor my iBook i5. After upgrading to OSX El Capitan from Yosemite, I noted that there is an upgrade for free so I install it accordingly.

As to Pages, Numbers and Keynote, I used to compose documents with Open Office. Now as those apps become free; declared to be compatible with Microsoft Office; and most importantly, now it appears that they become indispensable components of Mac OS and iCloud; I think they are worth trying and thus install accordingly.

iMac G3 i7 Mod Video - 10000 Views Attained

The "iMac G3 Mod i7 Mod" Video was uploaded in last April. Today I am happy to announce that 10000 views was reached, in less than a year. It is a milestone of our work done. I would like to express my gratitude towards all people who have watched this video, in particular, who liked this video, who gave comment to this video, and the subscribers of our channel.

If you have watched other related videos of mine, you might find that I have fine-tuned this computer, which include:

(1) adjusted the viewable area of the LCD screen to about 13 inches so that it look much alike the original CRT screen;

(2) install the latest Mac OSX Yosemite for this iMac G3 i7;

(3) install the iStat Menus to show more performance information of this machine; and

(4) connecting it with other Apple devices i.e. Wireless Mouse and Keyboard and iPhone 6 and iSight Stand Alone Camera.

If I have another chance to make a Version 2.0 video, It would includes all those changes, besides, I would also:

(1) upgrade the start-up disk from SATA To SSD;

(2) show its connectivity with iPod, iPad and Apple Watch;

(3) activate more applications to demonstrate its performance of multi-tasking; and

(4) improve the fluency and skill of my presentation (^.^).
