	I'd like to step in for a second and say something.  I just want
to say that PowerMacs have slots! :)  My 9600 has SIX PCI slots.  It's was
the obvious choice for me when I decided I need a "modern" computer to
replace my gs.  Plus the design is so COOL.  Everything is accessible
inside (plus it's fun to look around).  Let's break the old stereotype

old GS (actually both of them at home. :) ).
