Yes, zapping the Pram on 'Old World' machines revives
all the Classic OS settings and will get you a '?'
unless you have an HDD or partition somewhere with
Classic OS to boot from. 
Over the years I have used Apple, Apple will use any
or all means to get you to buy a new machine (many
devices that worked fine before 10.2 now don't); Apple
changes things such as Video or other drivers without
informing current owners (see the 10.2.2 ATI drivers
vs. the ATI download); Apple's component HW changes so
that used Macs (from the same model line) that ought
to be identical are not - and perform differently (see
also the many 'different' flavours of the G4, G3
chips). It's no surprise that xlr8 (or similar) went
under, or their predecessor in Georgia (who first made
a multi-processor chip and compatible accelerators).
So now you see what "Think Different" implies. 
Rant over,
Cheers
George
