Power Mac Coffee Table!
Too bad otherwise useful G4`s collect dust. I have a 7100 PowerPc,three G4`s,and one G3 All in one. I use them. I`ve replaced power supplies(No big deal) in every G4.I have Tiger with Classic and OS9.2Also, I`m trying out Ubuntu and Hypercard. When I get bored,I crank up my Dell XP.

Re: Power Mac Coffee Table!
It´s not technical and it´s ugly. There are many different, more constructive, more creative - and more helpful - things one can do than create fashion to image geekiness. For $600 I´d rather buy a Mac Mini. It´s far more useful than furniture that is dangerous to pets and little children. Thanks for the link, Dan. Got my blood moving faster!

Fashion, the attempt to image the ¨zeitgeist¨, is ephemeral at best. Few things are more disgusting than the attempt to create ¨fashion¨ from things that we work with every day. True geeks tend to ignore fashion because we are interested in practical things, things that serve us and those around us. We have a mechanical, practical, engineering desire to make things work faster and more efficiently and to make them easier to use. Serious, nerdy things are the antithesis of designing for vanity. How much fashion can you see in hospital operating rooms, in dentists´ chairs or in auto repair bays? -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Neat idea but I think that it would be an unbefitting end to my Gigabit G4 that served me flawlessly for ten years. The proper coffee table Mac is an Apple Network Server. Put a plate of glass on top of it. Presto, table. And you don't even need to drill the case. For bonus points, connect a console to it and put it on the table. -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- Po-Ching Lives! -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
