There are some people with really decent machines that were cut off from
Leopard, and so now Snow Leopard is out, and they're SOL for security
updates.  Something like an 800MHz flat-panel iMac is still a nice
computer, would make a great Fedora machine.

Snow Leopard is mostly an engineering release, so when the next upgrade
arrives, you'll find some Mac Pros with the quad-liquid-cooled G5's
(sold into summer '06) on the auction block (cheap/unsupported).  They
ought to be giving away Powerbooks with a fill-up at the gas station in
Cupertino.

I'll have to make sure my local computer recycling nonprofit knows where
to turn.
