While we're on the subject of computers, my ageing-but-venerable Blue and White G3 Powermac will shortly be retiring, after some 3 years of service. I bought it used, so it's now 5 years old. All I did to it was flip a dip switch on the CPU to bump it up from 400 to 450 Mhz and cram in an extra hard drive (complete with bodged, er I mean custom built double-decker drive sled) and bump up the RAM to 1 GB. It has served me well, but it is too slow in Photoshlop now, so time to go.

Buying used, so will part out some of the drives on eBay to recoup some cost, leaving me with a formidable machine. (Anoraks FYI: yes it has a later Pabst fan aboard :-) Will bump up the RAM some more and let's rock and roll.
