[Ham-Mac] RFI getting into computer

[D. J.]

Even though my dual 2.3 has several fans it is still dead quiet and I  
do a lot of photographic processing of large picture files.  It just  
sits, does it's job.

Perhaps in future models and software they will give us the ability  
to run BOTH OSs simultaneously on separate partitions.  Wouldn't that  
be a gas.

I expect to get a few more years out of my G5 as I do with all my  
other Mac computers.  I won't be buying anything for quite a while.

Cheers

Dale, K9VUJ
