I am a MAC person by heart anyway. :D If they didnt send the motherboard, I would have dropped the 700 dollars they wanted (600 for the board, and 100 for the service to get it swapped) into my old G3 (which I still use BTW, very reilable) for another 250 Gig Western and split the processor to dual G4s. and with the left over money, pick up some more RAM. :D :D sorry, I just had a moment :paranoid:
