haha
I love to hear about stuff like that.
How hard was the g4 upgrade? I guess id have to find a Yikes! g4
though hmmm tempting certainly! They're so easy to work on
(installing the Hard Drive and the additional memory was a snap). The
thing about it is - If I installed WinXP and SP2 on a P2 or P3 with
256/320 mb of ram I doubt it would be playing itunes/reading a
website and running Mail as we speak....
I have a 17" LCD attached to ... hmm little bluey needs a name now -
I don't think i can match "Bruce" though. Ill have to think on it.

Agreed Chris.
I have a few fast wintel machines sitting around, but the B&W is my
favorite machine by far. Added a G4 processor, maxed the ram,
increased the disk space and added a dvd burner. (Installed 10.4.4
last night) Bruce has handled everything I've thrown at him.
(Yeah... Bruce. He has an Ash action figure standing on top.)
I also have a stock 350 B&W and a third machine for parts. Yeah...
I like them! :->
Don't get me wrong... I'd love to have one of the new 20" iMacs
sitting on my desk, but do I really =need= one!? Anyway, with a big
LCD display connected to Bruce, I can kind of pretend for a while! ;)

I'm running 10.4.4 on my B&W G3 and frankly I must say that I'm
super impressed. It's stable, reasonably fast and just gets on
with the job.
I have the 450mhz version coupled with a new (to the b&w at least
7200 rpm 40g drive), the computer runs with 320 meg of ram
currently which seems to be just fine for email and web surfing -
that said I have a friend who is giving me 2x128 meg of ram to
take me to 512 total.
My overall point is - do it if you use the machine for basic web/
email/general usage- the B&W G3 is a very capable machine for your
needs.
