I own a G4 MDD 1.25 which I purchased new in June 2004. I think the only two global complaints you might hear concern the power supply and fan noise. I did replace a power supply a couple years ago, but other than that it’s been very stable. I recently upgraded to a DVD-RW drive and OS 10.4.11 Tiger, allowing compatibility with newer software.<BR>
