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.
