Who needs this junk?

Evidantly mac stores are having trouble keeping them in stock

Will it run Half Life 2?

1) most people who own PC's are not gamers, 2) most gamers do not need half life 2

Big deal, it's market share isn't even worth the hackers' effort of virus-writing for it.

Its built on Unix (BSD), the internet DNS servers are BSD, if someone could have 6 BSD server they could take down the entire internet.

Another overpriced

Same price as a dell with much lower quality video

over-proprietary

Every part can be replace by the customer (processor, memory, Harddrive) etc with equipment from any number of sources. I can also put several Operating systems on the out of the box equipment (OSX, Linux, Straight BSD)

underpowered

Other than the memory (cheeply upgradeable) what is underpowered. The G4 1.25 benchmarks the same as a P4 2.5, is the P4 2.5 and underpowered CPU? UNlike 500$ dells it has devoted video memory and a non integraged card.

The rest is not even worth addressing, if you want a big clinky noisy computer with an OS developed by a man who give money the the UN eugenics err population control group and planned parenthood be my guest.

As long as you don't buy from Apple, apparently. But there are plenty of other places where you can get memory cheaper.

Grrrr. No, no - I've sworn off this kind of thing....
