I sure wish I had that XP1000!

I have and Aspen Durango - which has an Alpha 600MHz and 512MB Ram. I use it to serve my website using PHP and Apache. And it has 3 blogs powered by Movable Type. It also is my MySQL server. I always wanted a XP1000 to try out as a desktop.

I had a Ultra 10, they only seem to run well with Solaris, IMO. I did get a version of linux to work on it but I forget which. Couldn't get any *BSD to work on it.

The G4 depending on the speed, I would use a multimedia machine. Ripping DVDs, CD etc. And playing around in Garage Band. But it would have to be 800MHz processor or faster or dual. Anything else I just try out OS X.
