I don’t really have a ‘favorite'; we never got more than one or two here, and I never personally used one...I went from Windows PC’s to a second-hand G4 to a first gen Intel iMac for a few years, and then later to the 27” Quad i7 mid-2010 I have now. (We in the IT department are the cobblers children of computers. I keep getting to set up everyone’s newer macs, but never use them. ) I know they used SATA HD’s and different RAM than G4’s. ISTR the card slots were different as well; they were pretty much completely different architectures from what went before. Intel macs came along and pretty much replaced all PowerPC macs here within a few years. I surplussed the last G4 in the College about three years ago, and it had been sitting in a closet for a while before that. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
