With a sad heart, I bring news of the passing of a faithful friend – my son’s G4 PowerMac Gigabit Ethernet.<\/strong> Sniff!<\/em>\"\"<\/a>Although it was born in the year 2000, it was ancient as far as desktop computers are concerned. I’ve made a number of augmentations to it to keep it youthful, useful and vibrant since it came into my possession a little over 4 years ago. It served it’s users well long after much younger models have been consigned to the scrap heap.
<\/em>\"PowerMac<\/a>It was a replacement for a younger and faster eMac that gave up the ghost shortly after its warranty expired. I bought this Mac and added a processor upgrade, video card and a PCI SATA card making it much superior to the all-in-one model it was replacing. It was for my son and he rode it hard for the past 4 years. Alas, the power supply gave out.<\/p>\n

All of this reminds me of a song, and since I am not a song smith, I will let the immortal Terry Jacks<\/strong> sum up my feelings:<\/p>\n
