I kinda figured "G5" plus the name of the list made it obvious I meant the
(G5) iMac. ;)

What can I say, I'm a cheapass. :) I like playing around with the old
machines, cheap, so I can play with all sorts of models on a budget, and
just to show they can still get stuff done. Right now I'm typing this
from a Color Classic ("Mystic" upgraded.)
The Quicktake I won't deny is old, I've been wanting to get a newer
caemra, but without a USB port, my options were at the very least,
limited. :) So that had to wait until I got a new machine.
