Have they actually announced that support is available? The last time I looked into it, they were still saying it wasn't ready. I've seen G4 400 towers selling for under $1000 refurbished. A B&W G3 350 like I have was even less. By the time you get an accelerator ($300+), more RAM, and a video adapter that will do justice to OS X, it probably is better to just buy a more modern machine. Sad, but true... --Apple-Mail-409335036-3 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/enriched; charset=us-ascii On Sunday, May 13, 2001, at 02:01 PM, Brad Knowles wrote: <excerpt>At 8:38 AM -0700 5/13/01, Rob wrote: <excerpt> I'm wondering if OS-X will run on my old Power Computing Power Center 120?
