What is this traffic showing and why?

You can capture some or all of the network traffic for analysis with that program. Fire up a Terminal session and do man tcpdump for more.

Buying a G4 Cube less power supply
Hi all, Have a chance this weekend to buy a 450mhz G4 Cube fairly cheap ($75)... less power supply. The specs aren't impressive... 64mb RAM and 20gb HD. Wouldn't mind having it for the collection, but I've heard these power supplies are hard to find and not cheap. I've got a G4 Sawtooth not being used and was wondering if the power supply could somehow be modified to work with a G4 Cube?... or would it be better to just look for an original power supply or find another G4 Cube deal with one included?
