"Gaius or Gnaeus Hosidius Geta (; c. 20 – after 95) was a Roman Senator and general who lived in the 1st century. Geta was a praetor some time before 42. In the latter year, commanding a legion, probably the Legio IX Hispana in the Africa Province, he was a part of Gaius Suetonius Paulinus' campaigns into Mauretania. Geta defeated Sabalus, a chief of the Mauri, twice, and after gathering as much water as could be carried, pursued him into the desert. Sabalus' forces were more used to the conditions and the legion's water began to run out. A native friendly to the Romans persuaded Geta to perform a rain ritual used by his people and rain began to fall. The Romans' thirst was relieved and the Mauri, seeing the heavens come to their enemies' aid, surrendered. Geta and his legion were part of the Roman conquest of Britain, led by Aulus Plautius, the following year. Geta was almost captured in the Battle of the Medway in the early part of the campaign, but recovered and turned the battle so decisively that he received the ornamenta triumphalia, which was unusual as he had not yet been a Consul. He was a Legatus in Britannia about 45. An inscription found in Rome reveals that he became Suffect Consul in 49. Geta married, but the name of his wife is unknown. He had a daughter called Hosidia, born about the year 65. Hosidia married Marcus Vitorius Marcellus, a man of consular rank and a friend of the poet Statius. Hosidia and Marcellus had a son called Gaius Vitorius Hosidius Geta. ==Sources== * Cassius Dio, Roman History 60.9, 20, 60.20 * William Smith (1870), Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology Vol 2 p. 529-530 ==External links== * Hosidius Geta at Encyclopaedia Romana Category:Ancient Romans in Britain Category:Ancient Roman generals Category:Senators of the Roman Empire Category:Suffect consuls of Imperial Rome Category:1st-century Romans Category:20s births Category:Year of birth uncertain Category:Year of death unknown "

"The Power Macintosh 7500 is a personal computer designed, manufactured and sold by Apple Computer, Inc. from August 1995 to May 1996. The 7500 was introduced alongside the Power Macintosh 7200 and 8500 at the 1995 MacWorld Expo in Boston. Apple referred to these machines collectively as the "Power Surge" line, communicating that these machines offered a significant speed improvement over its predecessors. The 7500 introduced a new case design, later dubbed "Outrigger" by Mac enthusiasts. There were two derivative models: the Power Macintosh 7600, identical to the 7500 except for the CPU which was a PowerPC 604 or 604e processor instead of the 7500's 601; and the Power Macintosh 7300, identical to the 7600 but without the video inputs found in both the 7500 and 7600. == Hardware == The 7500 is one of the first PCI- capable Macs manufactured by Apple; NuBus expansion cards are not supported. It has a PowerPC 601 processor rated at 100 MHz that is replaceable via a daughtercard. It also includes full composite video and s-video input capability, but no output, as the 7500 was designed to be a video conferencing system, not a multimedia editing machine--this was the 8500's task. The main bus runs at 45MHz or 50MHz (set by the CPU daughtercard), and the CPU at integer or half-integer multiples of this speed. The bus can be temperamental with sensitivity to different kinds of RAM or of L2 cache, which could cause problems with aftermarket CPU cards trying to increase the clock speed. == Models == In addition to the standard matrix of configurations available from Apple, various third-party resellers offered a wide variety of configurations. * Power Macintosh 7500/100: 8 or 16 MB RAM, 512 MB or 1 GB HDD, AppleCD 600i 4x CD-ROM drive. ==References External links == * Power Macintosh 7500 at lowendmac.com * Power Macintosh 7500 at everymac.com 7500 7500 Category:Macintosh desktops Category:Computer-related introductions in 1995 it:Power Macintosh 7500 "
