If you get rid of your G5, let me know how you did that, because my G5 is still sitting in the closet.
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, but not for $269.
This one is blue, and only $239.99. [link]
It has XP, and the 8GB solid-state HD. How can that be? (Would XP fit?) Besides the XP, this one has the specs of Linux model I have. Do they still sell the Linux one?

I am very tempted by a netbook too. Cheaper than rewiring my house so that I can take my desktop out of the basement.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If it doesn't sell on Craigslist in 2 weeks I'll put it on Freecycle.

XP first came out in 2001, when hard drives were much, much smaller than they are now.

I saw that one. For $30 more the black one has a 120GB HD. (Not solid state, obviously, but still. 120 is more than 8.)

I love my pink netbook! It is actually my only computer and a great way to afford one for those of us who do not have the money currently.

WOW, those are CHEAP! Dang....

My G5 is collecting dust in my storage room as well.

Wow. My work computer is a G4. Powered by a dinosaur running on a treadmill.
