It might not be a bad idea to see if someone from TriMUG (http://tmug.org) 
could come give us a talkin' to.

My girlfriend has an 800mhz G4 with 512mb RAM in the house, and while I don't 
use it as much as my intel boxes I have to say I'm impressed with it.

Speed hasn't been a problem, the UI is great (once I changed the themes from 
that happy, bubbly, crap), and I would totally buy one for myself once I 
learn to poop cash.

Of course when I compare it to my previous apple experience (first computer 
was an Apple ][ +) of course I'll be impressed.  :)
