Forgive me if this sort of thread has already been posted, although I did not see one upon scanning through this subforum.

Just as the title says, post the last thing you did with your G5 system.

I completed my personal NaNoWriMo challenge mostly using my Power Mac G5 by writing with it every single day in November until I had to export my progress to a modern MacBook and travel for Thanksgiving.

I posted this because the system is still extremely capable today, and I just can't help but wonder what everybody else is doing with their systems regularly these days.

Used it to load some MP3's to an old iPod nano as it was the only system I had that ran an old enough/new enough version of iTunes.

I have a station with 10.5 Server with NetBoot to boot other Macs.
And of course games, Max Payne runs here, the fished Radeon X1900 is great for this game in FullHD.

After the last reconfiguration of the disks, it is now without an OS and is waiting for me to finish with other Macs.

I'm also thinking about running Windows in VirtualPC, I think Dual-Core 2.0 GHz + 16 Gb RAM should be enough for a normal emulation of the environment to run winXP, but I haven't checked it yet.

Last thing I did to my a1117 was install a Mercury Accelsior M sata ssd to pcie adapter & the a1047, I was messing around with lubuntu but I think I will transition it to a shuriken Tiger box.

I use my Quad for GarageBand and Photoshop, largely. Does great for that.

Downloaded a bunch of photos taken that day from my DSLR into Aperture, then organized and edited them. Apple may have given up on Aperture, but I never did :)

Synced my custom iPod to mine via iTunes a few days ago. Found out that a handful of songs downloaded via yt-dlp (solely because the uploaders/artists didn't have the songs available anywhere for purchase) needed to be re-encoded into something that the G5 and the iPod can play without freezing or skipping, so that was weird.
