oh but you are forgetting the built in flower vase to my g4, and it's flip up lid/LCD monitor combo. Also I forgot to mention that this g4 has built in anti-gravitational technology so you can adjust it and it's flip lcd monitor to a desried height, with little or no trouble.

Oh and to a certain someone this machine also has 14 of the 15 pci card slots full of voodoo 9000 XXX prototypes, I think they left the last one open so you could install central heating and Air conditioning, just besure to solder the condensor on some of the shiny contacts. and motherboards are hot swappable on this model.

Yes well my G4 has 16 G4 chips each running at 1.5GHz, it has 32 PCI slots, 32GB of RAM, 9 TerraByte 20K RPM UltraSCSI hard drive, and a 56" HDTV monitor, oh, and a 500MHz Bus speed, lets see what else, built in dual 10/100/1000Base ethernet, built in 4 fireware ports, 4 usb ports, 4 external scsi 3(or 4?) ports, an ADB port for old time's sake, a 100X CD drive, a 32x64X32 CDRW, a 250MN zip, 2 GB jazz, ---NO FLOPPY DRIVE!!!---, a newly designed, more normal and esier to use Apple® mouse and keyboard, and comes from apple with NO AOL or MICROSOFT software installed at all. And is uses that new "Plasma-Pack" battery technology to run for up to 12 hour on battery power. Not to mention, the computer itself (not including the monitor) weighs in at only 21 LBS. Also, i forget to mention, a 32X DVD and a 24 X DVD-RAM, and a 24X DVD-R (?). New "Heat Induction System" sucks out all the hot air and keep the cooler air inside. Requires installation of an air duct in room when computer is used inside.
