I don't think anything ever came of this any of the other myriad of times
it was brought up.
But that said, it's a landmark system (I'm typing this on a 1GHz iMac G4,
which is also a design landmark), it runs a now-unusual desktop architecture,
it uses an obsolete operating system (as well as OS X) and it's long past
being obsoleted by its manufacturer.
