    I can wholeheartedly concur.

    Among my various Macs now is an iMac G3 running at 400Mhz, an unthinkably slow speed in these multi-gigahertz times. Of course, it can drag a bit on occasion, but for the most part, it does its job perfectly, and, besides, it's beautiful - the essential accompaniment to any student bedroom.

    Sure, I wouldn't mind a G5, but, courtesy of speed bumps in Panther (and perhaps some in Tiger too?), I have a very usable machine - a stark contrast to the Microsoft-Intel cartel of old.
