Asked what would become of the 1,100 PowerMac G5 computers being retired, Varadarajan said: "We're working on getting them very good homes."


I'll give one a very good home...really....

Actually, I originally heard that Apple would be taking 'em back - guess not?

That would be like giving someone a Ferrari and they take it apart to make a Hummer.

When I showed my friend, who happens to love Apple, he looked sick. He did not say anything to me. He just put his hands on his head and was in shock. I wish I had a picture of that


Me, too.

I put all the parts from the G5 into a box and gave it to my friend. He was rather happy. I think he is going to try to install them into his G3 - I hope he's successful.
