But before that I had an iG5 (which is going to Geneva to do dialup, or
slow ASDL-on demand) and that fairly flew compared to a G4.

And yes, I have a InteliMac and Anne has a MBP, and they *really* are
noticeably faster than my Macs were before. I'm not talking about
numbers here, just about let's do this Ooooooooo!
