Hi!
I have been doing some serious thinking and have realised
that maybe a PowerBook isn't what I really need, but a slightly
more powerfull, but semi-moveable computer, and when I
read on Apple's site that the iMac G5 is even sold as a moveable
machine, I figured that maybe I should consider this

It is plugged in to a new APC Surge Protector w/Battery Backup so I

The only option for you is to get router that enables you to change MAC
address. Most European operators register one MAC address for a location and
do not allow any other machines to connect/share the connection. If your

It's hard to say, Apple did a good job over the last year of falling
completely out of their upgrade cycle in several lines. The iMac G5
has remained the same since September when it was released. Typically
apple revamps each series every 6 months or so, so March-April would be
a good guess,
