<Apple has always used model code names internally.>

Does this mean you have to look up your model by opening up the computer? 
Not that I'd have to now though, because since you said that  <The Beige 
G3 (DT or MT) was Gossamer> and my G3 is a Beige DT, now I know I have a 
Gossamer.  :-) Thanks.

<The G3 AIO was Artemis
The B& W G3 was Yosemite
The first G4 was Yikes (basically a B&W with a G4 chip)
The next G4 was Sawtooth
The Gigabit G4 was Mystic and Snakebite>

Oh, so THAT's what all these names I've been seeing in here mean (short 
of AIO/Artemis: that one I never heard of even). I'd just read posts and 
when the poster would say which Mac he or she had, think "oh, this person 
has a G3 or G4 or G5," leave it at that, and even if I don't know all of 
the actual differences and specific technical capabilities of all these 
Macs, I did know that G4s were more advanced than G3s, and the same with 
regards to G5s compared to G4s. And that people with G4s and G5s tend to 
have questions and problems which are still way over my head.

<The first G5 was Omega>

You mean there are more G5s already?

<Etc., etc., etc.,  Obviously those product engineers have a sense of 
humor. <G>>

Not to mention, a desire to confuse some people.  ;-)

Thank you yet again.
