I got mine in August to replace the 450MhZ G4 tower that I got to learn
about OS X in 2001.  The G4 was a bit slow, which kept me from using it a
lot.

I gave my wife a Mac Mini for her birthday in September to replace her old
Windows 98 machine.  She didn't even see the Mini sitting on top of the
Win98 machine at first.  Now she doesn't have to listen to me piss and moan
every time I touch her Win98 machine.

The Macs work fine, connected to a ps/2 KVM switch, using a USB->PS/2
Adapter for the keyboard and mouse.
