No shame yet ... the pile is still sitting here and one PW is still plugging away at its assigned duties. A PTP is also functional, but in the back room with cover off and scsi drive connected but hanging outside. The others have various lightning symptoms: non working ethernet ports and intermittent weirdness when I try to turn them on. I have been instructed to discard them, but can't bring myself to do that. I suppose I could try clean installs of operating systems and try pci ethernet cards to see if they'd work ... where's the time? I imagine they'll be sitting there for another year or two, then I can write to the powercomputing list and get chastized again for considering getting rid of them. This mirrored door G4 acts a lot like my old powerwave, hopefully it'll live up to the "workhorse" status of our powerwaves. One better thing about the G4, the cd drive always works (knock on wood.) Still not used to this weirdo mouse though and the keyboard is clunky and noisy. I do most of my typing on my powerbook 1400 (which is as old as my powerwave.) We also still have a Mac IIci I think the one from Canada doing its job daily.
