phew!
I suddenly panicked when I saw that thread title and thought it was 1999 and I'd gone insane, imagining the last 10 years.
I thought this was going to be a thread about how a G5 laptop running OS 9.3 is going to SPANK those awful Wintel Windoze laptops once they get around the 25 minute battery life and built in lap-cooker the "sources" are saying apple is working on.
Sorry to hear about your drive by the way.
