Someone told me this I never read it anywhere and I wasn't sure if it was true either??? I guy I know told me he read this in one of those computer mags... I just hope I can still use my G4 for a long time before I have to resort to an Intel Mac... Maybe it was Intel for the G5 then??? Isn't it true that the G5 was way too hot for the laptop??? I knew when I wrote that I would get a whole lot of feedback and maybe find out if what he told me was true??? I have always hated PC's because they are just too complicated for me and prone to viruses and running virus protection really slows the computer down too ... I guess this G3-G5 list is a great thing here, Cool!!! CoolKat
