I bought my G5 tower at the end of the PPC generation, and loved the thing. I think it was 2005 or 2006, and I ran the machine until only a couple of years ago.

I bought my G5 tower at the end of the PPC generation, and loved the thing. I think it was 2005 or 2006, and I ran the machine until only a couple of years ago. During it's working life, it never skipped a beat, and for a long time was still just as performant as anything being released new. Then came the stage where I could no longer update OSX, couldn't really run the internet as no new browser versions were released... The machine was pretty much a brick. But it was a goddamn pretty brick.
