General Comments
I don't own one of these computer systems, but I use them a lot.
I'm studying Music Technology in my first year at University and we have 8 of these Apple Power Macintosh G5 1.6GHz babies!
When I started my course, I'd never even touched a mac but I fell in love with the OS.
I've been a Microsoft user for 10+ years but occasionally used Linux.
Anyway, the OS is slim and smoothline, everything runs like a dream. Originally using 10.2.8 but then switched to 10.3 when it came out. OS 10.3 is soooo much nicer again!
As there's a 64bit processor, a lot of programs are not 100% compatible with it, but more are coming out. There's a lot of freeware, especially as you can use Linux based applications with it (built in X11) albeit with a little bit of tweaking.
Anyway, my overall feeling is WOOOW :)
