Just wanted to mention that if you have an old PowerMac that you're not using, you might experiment with loading a Linux distribution on it. I installed Ubuntu Linux on an old Blue-and-White G3 this weekend:
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/download/ This old G3 used to have OS X Panther on it, and I will say that Gnome (the GUI running on Ubuntu) is not as snappy on this machine as OS X was. The one advantage to Ubuntu is that it has a version for Intel as well as PowerPC. So you can have the same basic OS running on both platforms, though not all the apps run on both platforms yet. --- Rex. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be November 22 at Pitt Academy, 6010 Preston Highway. | The LCS Web page is <http://www.kymac.org>. | List posting address: <mailto:macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu> | List Web page: <http://erdos.math.louisville.edu/macgroup>
