No big deal when gas was 25¢ a gallon or less!
Nope! We want to party like it's 1999 again.

Ahhh..... yes!
Back in them thar' days, 1997), when my 'puter was a Power Computing
Power Tower 166 with a whoppin' 4GB drive and loaded with 256MB RAM
that I bought for a "measly" $1,700 (factory refurb sale at the old
Palmer Auditorium, I was in hawg heaven.
That year I had refurbished an old Studebaker Lark four door with the
venerable bullet proof 259 V8 which I had the timing cranked way up
'cause premium gas was only 98¢. Damned that thang would fly!
Now the daily driver is an '82 Honda Civic 1500 DX automatic that,
well, er... gets around 35mpg.
G4 gigabit will be ten years old next month so I see a (used) Intel
Mac Mini as a replacement on its anniversary...
