[G4] g4 new vs old

[Paul Shand]

Go straight to to top.  You'll appreciate the 1.4.2 is far faster than 
the the Dual 1 Gig now discontinued model.  The extra speed along with 
the extra features are worth it.  Think of it as an investment.  Or 
wait for another six months or so and see the next massive price drop.

Whatever your purchase,  I reccomend buying online at Apple Store and 
getting the full RAM Quota to avoid needless problems with the 
multitude of RAM heretics selling PC2700 garbage RAM.  At least from 
the Apple Store they are bound to better service and genuine Apple 
Certified RAM and any problems will be sorted more properly.

I don't trust any Computer Shops anymore be PC or Mac with lazy 
salesmen and too casual hardware support with no attention paid to ESD 
precautions.

I wish middlemen could be removed from the quotient of purchasing and 
one could buy every thing direct from whoever manufactures, whatever it 
is.

Sorry to rant but having been burnt a few times I am now extremely 
cautious now and probably a little too  cynical.
