You can pick up a respectable G4 cheap, I bought a Quicksilver not long ago
very low and just picked up a GB of memory for $150 and popped in a 60GB for
$70 and a copy of OS X 10.2 I bought for $20 and the system is purring along
VERY nicely.

I wonder if that was a wise decision in hindsight. Discuss. *evil grin* :)
It would be cool to see that original code
running on a PC today.
Yep. I bet someone held onto a copy that's now sitting in the bottom of a
filing cabinet somewhere slowly becoming unreadable.....

Oh. Bummer. Still, these days since I can't afford a G4 or G5 I've got the
next best thing - ObjectBar, ObjectDock and WindowBlinds from Stardock!
