Hi Michael, In fact this G4 you donated was to be used for this purpose (and others). The problem is the machine was put in a remote machine room and has since crashed. No one has been able to contact the admin due to some real-life stuff he's involved in. Thus I'm looking for an alternative to that G4 for some quick work. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
