Brilliant!
I remember when I bought my PowerBook 520c on eBay I had it shipped directly to my work so I could play with it right away! :D
Unfortunately even if I had done that and it arrived today we had our weekly lunch meeting so I could not play on it.

Most of the music is on the B/W G3 now at the office. There are some music files left on the Dell I'm looking for.

I got my B&W G3 back in 05 for $60 shipped from iantm, and it was my best purchase ever. it handles tiger VERY well. I just recently completed the ensemble by getting the 15" LCD apple sold for it. Those RCA inputs are to die for.

Good news: It works! Even though it's the same speed as my B/W G3 and has slightly less RAM, it appears to run faster.

Bad news: Packed in newspaper, the front foot is broken near the left side. Fortunately I had to order a set of feet for my G3 after the rear foot was broken during shipment, so I do have a replacement here. It just won't look the same.

Pull some ram from the G3, if your going to be using the G4 more. I would say something to the seller, cause that sucks :( I would take the back foot and put it in the front, and put the replacement foot in the back.

I did send a message to the seller. I'm waiting for his/her reply before sending feedback. Unfortunately the bottom feet are not interchangeable due to the provision for the side door. One side has a corner cut off on each one.

The seller is sending a front foot as well as another hard drive - the one in here is 10GB smaller than what was advertised. Currently it has a whitish foot from a B/W G3 on it. It works, but it's not pretty. :)

G4s are great. I'll be buying one sometime to replace my iBook and run Leopard.

I got my G4/500Mhz (I think it's a Graphite, I'm not sure.) from a friend. Came with OS 9 and a relative assload of shareware discs and other software, as well as a DVD-Rom drive. :D Now I'm pimpin' with Ubuntu on my 40GB. :cool: I'll move to Fluxbuntu when it becomes available.
