<Well, I do, for one. Then again, I don't consider any G4 to be low-end, on the PowerBook front, yet the G-books list is flooded with them. Even my Lombard 400 isn't low end, IMHO.

I agree that a G4 is not a "low end" Mac and neither are G-Books. Since I don't have a G-Book, I'm not on the G-Books list, but shortly after I bought a G3 Beige DT from the Swap List (spring 2003), I did join the G-list, which I'm still on -- and wondering now what I'm doing there. Yeah, there are still a few "old fashioned holdouts" like me for whom old G3s running OS 9.2.2 serve all their computing needs (hahaha, while also being an old Powerbook user happy with 7.5.5 on a 190 and 8.6 on a 5300), but the majority of the G-listers are on G4s, and G5s seem to have been cropping up like mushrooms after a rainstorm. I think Dan our list owner is creating those Macintel and MacBook lists because there was a LOT of Macintel discussions popping up on the G-list...having actually seen that for myself as a G-lister, I'll also guess that perhaps MacBook discussion was similarly permeating discussion on the G-Books list, and that's why Dan thinks LEM needs special lists for Macintels and MacBooks? Gosh, if there's going to be new lists, I wish there'd be one for "ALL Old Macs, Pre-OS X." I'm getting really tired of reading about OS X, G4s, G5s, Minis, Cubes, Intel Macs and so on. :::::vent::::: I know, I don't have to sub to the new lists, and I can always drop off the G-list too. It's just that I wish there was a list for people like me. ~Yersinia. ________ "Life is a sexually transmitted disease." -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
