Bruce, I second this. My G4 has been running nonstop with no problems at all since early 2002. Sleep thing is the only trouble it has had (except for broken fan the first year under warranty). I have always had it connected to an UPS, usually APC. Buy a new one every couple years when the battery goes. (Not worth it to ship a battery methinks.) Been telling my son not to download every mini app under the sun. I will make him read your whole post. Thank you!
