Wooden it be cool if Apple made available a "bare" G4 board with an AGP slot and six PCI slots? No tech support other than a replacement warranty needed. (Of course they'd have to do ROM and driver updates like for their full Macs, but don't bother phoning Apple.) Apple could have a contest for the coolest case or thing that serves as a case. nVidia had one for their super compact "Eden" board. Apple could get back to their geek roots and get a big publicity boost too. :) DIY Mac, the "next big thing"! ===== "Why do Zik-Zak Burgers come in plastic packs?
