[X4U] How much can it cost

[Paul Moortgat]

I did a backup last night before I went to sleep when all still worked  
and I was possible to wake the G5.  I'm back to the iMac 2.8 with the  
HD from the G5 in an external casing via a FW cable.
The only thing is that all the icons are scrambled.  I've a 30"  
monitor, and this is a 24" iMac.
