Um... Yeah... So? :) I had another rev A with 768megs of Ram in it, that
wasn't the point...
Why are you guys taking this as a personal attack on the rev A g3's?
They're great machine's, but I and others have had problem with the rev A's.
Maybe you haven't. That's great. I haven't had I happen to all of the one's
I've owned. But it has happened to two. Could be my machines? Well, no, as
the forums and articles on xlerate point out.
*sighs* This is starting to feel like the paranoia the mac lists had when
apple was in real trouble.
