Even though I paid a princely sum for that beast: $3,400 (I got it when Apple first started offering online "build your own" options) I certainly had extracted the value of all my money by the time I passed it along. I ran the damn thing for four years straight, literally shutting down the machine only during restarts. I played many a game, downloaded many a Phish show, ran an FTP server, and had many adventures with that machine. Which is when I learned about HD MTBF ratings... Keith wrote his Junior IS on that computer, along with most of his Senior IS and other assignments. I am sad to see the G3 go, but I am glad that it continues to be a gift that keeps on giving.
