	Those are nice Mac's. I looked at one of those on eBay before I ended
up buying my Ruby iMac. Unfortunately, it went off the auction block
before I got it.

	Are you running OS X or Classic?

	I hadn't either, previously. I only checked when I read that a bunch of
PowerBook users were doing so and where upset because their systems were
running .00000005 MHz below the spec. *sigh*

	If you're curious, your Mac will tell you the speed with this command:

	% sysctl hw.cpufrequency
