My Sawtooth & Pismo
Everyone in my house has a G4, except for my Dad. My Mom has a iMac G4 800MHz, my oldest brother has an iBook G4 1.33GHz, my second oldest used to have a G4 Cube, but sold it and bought a PowerBook G4 867MHz. My dad has nothing but a G5 tower, a iMac intel, and a MacBook Pro.
Here's my Power Macintosh G4 Sawtooth (AGP Graphics).
I rely HEAVILY on my Power Mac G4 Sawtooth, and it runs Leopard VERY WELL, for just a 450MHz Processor, and I plan to give it it's last upgrades before investing in a G5 or iMac Intel. I had this computer for three years (before, I had a 400MHz iMac DV Indigo). Back in 2005, when I was going to graduate, my computer teacher gave it to me, believe it or not, with a keyboard & mouse, and I gave my aunt my iMac in exchange for this elderly 17" DELL monitor, which displays very well for it's age. It was the last & latest Mac in the entire school. I'll never forget that. It came with a 400MHz G4, 128MB RAM, 20GB Hard Drive, 32X/6X DVD-Drive, an ATi Rage 128, and OS 9.1. Look how far I've come with this thing, just by reading my signature.
Next, My PowerBook G3. I always wanted to sell my iMac DV for one of these, but it never worked out. FINALLY, after SIX freaking years, my brother found one of these in the back of the Apple store he works next door from, and they considered it junk. It had no keyboard, no working batteries, no CD drive, and a crappy 20GB, but came with a remarkable 512MB of RAM. I fixed it up got a new charger, HD, and keyboard, and BOOM! IT WORKS PERFECTLY! I've owned this thing for a month now. Still looking for a battery though.
I wish Apple would look into their roots more often. I remember back when the Government classified my Sawtooth a Supercomputer back in 1999. G4's were some of the most successful Macs there were. They had the most models. *Sigh*, the world I grew up in is GONE.
