In Feb. 2009  I switched to an Intel Mini & retired my awesome G4. I hated to see the Silver Surfer leave, it’s weird how you can get attached to a machine. But I liked that computer better than any other one I have ever owned. I just needed more muscle than most people would, with all of the video encoding that I do. I needed the Intel core 2 to get the job done. My new mini is WAY more powerful than my G4, but not near as cool.
