Aug 7, 2011 10:36 AM in response to tburl41by WZZZ,Why, would you like to do an interview for 60 Minutes? I still use one, although it's taken a back seat to my 21.5 running SL I give my G3 a hug once in a while and that's all it seems to need.

Oct 17, 2015 5:52 PM in response to rccharlesby Jeff,The only option of which I have been aware is Fastmac's service upgrade that installs a G4 (~500 MHz) Motorola processor on your own G3 motherboard or (for $30 more) trades you a previously-upgraded motherboard for your own. Details can be found here. This upgrade for a 15+ year-old computer, like the $149 internal DVD-RW drive for the slot loading iMacs, is an expensive investment with rapidly-diminishing returns — especially if the PAV board fails.
