Although I agree with you that Vanilla's comments have no place in this thread, I used, until about 7 months ago, my Power book g4 ( which retired after 2 years of heavy use and abuse) and my powermac g4 as my main computers. They are definitely not new, but calling them too slow to use for everyday is an insult. My PowerMac G4 has been my longest lasting computer besides an entry level Dell desktop whose IGP card blew after eight months, and afterwards I used a Nvidia 5200 on. My timeline of computers runs like this:
1999-2003 First Computer I owned,Dell Dimension WinME on Pentium 3 600mhz
2001-2004 First Laptop- Dell WinXP Pro, Pentium 4 1.8Ghz (IIRC) (This computer was a total POS)
2004-2008 Dell B110 Pentium 4HT (Upgraded from Celeron D) 1GB RAM 126GB HDD WinXP/Ubuntu
2006-2008 Dell XPS 1 Pentium4HT 2GB XP Pro
2008-Present PowerMac G4 (see sig)
2008-2011 PowerBook G4 1.5GHZ 2GB 80GB
2008-2010 Ibook G4 1.3 GHZ 1GB 60GB
2012-Present Mac Mini (see sig)
The Point is that G4s are far from inadequate, they only show age on video conversion and ripping my DVDs, and they are fine for most daily work. Therefore I would see no reason why Eyetech A1s couldn't be used for everyday, albeit at a greater bottleneck
