Makes me sorry I got rid of mine...well, not quite, that thing was damn loud. My PDP-11 has it beat for decibels, but it's at least nice large low-frequency fans, as compared to the G5 Quad's jet engines... :/

And it's not even the fastest G5 either... :D
The only faster one for single-processor use is the 2.7, which isn't that much difference. Still, not too shabby at all ;)

G5 or G4 it does not change the fact it is still Apple hardware. I have been using Mos for about 15 months and still can't figure out what it is supposed to be - an Apple or an Amiga. My theory is Mos developers are secretly mac lovers and are desperately seeking the approval of Apple. I think i will stick with my G4 macmini. It's much easier to hide than one of those powermacs :)
Look at it this way: with Apple's attitude towards legacy support, PowerPC Macs are just as much cast-off orphans as any classic Amiga ;P
