Well I haven't used the beige boxes yet, other than boothing them up and getting the specs, poking around just a little. I didn't mean they weren't 'real' macs, I meant that I hadn't "really" used any of them yet. I want to get one that is upgraded a little. I explored the idea of upgrading one of the beige boxes, but decided it would be a better move to step up to a G4 for OSX compatibility and usb/firewire.
