« Last post by indibil on Today at 10:16:32 AM »For a few months now I have been performing extreme overclocks on the Mac Mini G4, in your forum I have published the achievements, and without the like, it seems that only a couple of people have seen it, those who have responded. It seems like no one has any interest in these hacks. And I think, maybe it's not worth the effort to show it if no one is interested anymore.
Dont worry indibil, people do read your posts. It's just that not that many here can talk about such specific technical issues or duplicate at their homes what you have done.
And, you're not the only one here who sometimes thinks that he is talking to himself.

Thanks @indibil! As you may know I am currently attempting to replicate your work with the copper heatsinks for the Mac mini (and eventually) your new approach to overclocking the minis too. And I most certainly appreciate the time and extra effort that you expend to translate your information from your native tongue to English. And while I am certain that many here do read your posts, not all will take the time to comment in a similar fashion as this. Keystrokes and more keystrokes just to say yes, your contribution is great, it’s appreciated or I agree with what you’ve done… keep up the good work!
When a simple “click” can convey all of the above. Certainly, this helps to further illustrate just how useful and important the old “Like” button could actually be?
So, in absence of the that old button I have created the following graphic in your honor, that can be freely copied and pasted by anyone here, elsewhere, should they choose to do so. Rather simply because as your avi states: “I’m crazy, I know.”
Thank you indibil for all of your efforts! Keep up the great work, it is appreciated more than you may know. I am quite glad that you are here. “Think Different” indeed!

QuoteJust mentioning that the "like" button was a good incentive.

Well, it is always a "thankless" job at the moment when venturing into new territory and pushing the boundaries, but it does touch more people than you realize; I can personally attest that a lot of discoveries and documentation will entertain and thrill many in the future. This forum is a great reference tool and your efforts do not go un-noticed. Judging from the amount of reads and downloads about the mini, it may be our most remembered achievement, and thus the ability to squeeze more CPU out of it will interest many today and in the future. Just think how YOU used to be a "spectator" and now a contributor; I am sure you appreciated the info. that you read about and never commented on...
Perhaps there are many like me, that read your posts in absolute awe; I have been doing hardware repairs on mac for many years, but mostly troubleshooting and component swapping, with an occasional power jack solder, but definitely not soldering small resistors and changing voltage values, my old eyes/hands have missed that boat. I am sure that others with that ability, will follow your steps, just be aware that the search for such info may be today, tomorrow, or even a few years from now... the point being, if you do not post your achievements, they will not be there when they are needed.
So, it is a personal choice, go thru the effort and post, or just experiment for your own amusement and let the knowledge die out. I cannot advise you on this journey, nor would I demand you to spend your valuable time with such posts... but I can tell you, you are very likely appreciated much more than you can measure by responses to your posts
