Oh Wow. 15 Years. Gone by fast with so much progress since....though I still miss the cool factor and simplicity of the classic screen saver running on my old Pentium 200MMX w/ Win95 :P

Haha, yeah. iMac is still soldiering away 8 years later after a new power supply this summer.
My wife this summer finally made me donate the 2003 Power Mac G4 1.25 MDD to my son's school.
Still looked new and ran Seti just fine. Was a Top 20 computer on Seti briefly almost 10 years ago when Alex first into'd his early hand-written Altivec optimizations and custom compiled binaries.
I think I recently read that the newest ARM processors and iPad A8X CPUs have about the same processing power now, lol and without the constant hum and blow dryer noise of that G4 at 100% CPU load.
