Yersinia, it sounds like you bought from OWC, as I had. I guess I
shouldn't bash 'em too bad, as they *do* say it's a gray CD in the item
description. That said, they should really change the CD picture that
they put up with the item description page. Instead of the orange and
white general installation CD, which could lead people to believe that's
what they're buying should they miss the description, it *should* be a
picture of a gray OEM CD. I hit my other "used Mac reseller" links, to
compare pricing, but it seems the other resellers are properly
describing the OS CDs they're selling (if it's system specific, they say
so) as being OEM. Perhaps Hardcore Mac's pricing is a bit up there, but
I didn't know how hard the general installation CDs are to come by, when
I was shopping for one this summer.
Eventually I'll get around to rebuilding both of my beige G3's, although
from what I saw in a recent AIO thread, my AIO still might not work,
even after I change the PSU, if the problem was with the flyback
transformer. Thanks to an an initial pre-eBay offering by one of our
fellow list members, my beige MT will be clocking 400MHz, while the AIO
will be at 333MHz (which is what I'd upgraded it to before it died). I
recently had to pass on a $525.00 G4 Cube system (1st gen. 17" Apple
LCD, CPU, keyboard, mouse, speakers) at a shop in Indy, for as close to
Christmas as it is and I'm still saving for the hit my wallet will take
when I actually go do my Christmas shopping. I'm still wanting to add a
G4 Cube to my Mac collection, and I still might get around to buying a
Mac mini, although a 20" iMac G5 is on my short list of future purchace
plans. I'm planning to setup an iMac G5 with Logic Pro as part of a home
recording studio, but I'll have to see what I can do with my 400MHz G3
MT and Cubase VST v4.5 until I can afford the newer "toys."
