[QUOTE="Tuppy, post: 1888023, member: 408224"] Yes I guess the G5 Quad was the forerunner of the Mac Pro; then Apple went away from them and designed a round Mac that looks like a bushing for something, and now it seems they've seen the error of their ways and returned to basically the same tower design again. I guess the Quad runs pretty hot, since it has a liquid cooling system in it and a whole slew of cooling fans. That was my only gripe with it when I was using it all the time--the noise from all those fans. It starts up with a howl and then settles down to a muffled roar, and all the hot air pouring out the back of it can heat a room in the winter, or overheat one in the summer as it does now. Maybe that's one reason why Apple switched to Intel chips after the G5s--they must run cooler. The Mac Pro is certainly infinitely quieter. Oh, and thanks again Harry for the help in my getting this G5 connected to the Internet. Tom [/QUOTE]
