Agreed, but the Mac my wife uses was originally shipped with 9.2.2 (In fact I
have to keep a copy on it for firmware upgrades and such as they are not
available in OSX form for it!) The box is actually faster with OSX (10.4.8)
than 9.2.2. I would like to bump it up to 1.5GB ram... I bumped it up to a
120GB disk because it was cheap and I could (You can have iLife, office and two
OS's installed on a 20GB and have more than half free!), and Other World
Computing has the proper Pioneer DVD/DL-/+R/RW (with apple roms so it is a REAL
superdrive) for $30. You can't go wrong there.
Its a really decent machine, and forget about drivers; open the box, plug the
hardware in and ... it just works. whether its a 6 year old Nikon D1x (firewire
connection) or a 4 month old Olympus Stylus 810 (USB) digital camera, or a
Panasonic Mini-DV palmcorder... Heck just for grins I plugged in an audigy 2
USB .... it actually worked fine, though Creative has NO Mac drivers for it.
I'm picking up another one and moving all the digital photo stuff off of the
PC, the ONLY thing that will be on the PC will be games (BF2, Day of Defeat:

Yes, that's what I meant. In truth I like that 'dual control' better thna
the ACC in my 124.

"dual climate controls" reallly means old-style manual ACC system.
That's what I call "t*rd polishing.
