No, but I plan on replacing the PPro with an AXi.  I didn't have a 50pin 
drive big enough. I had ran out of space on the little <1GB disk, so I 
used a 4.5GB 68pin in the PPro.

Do you realize we have one of the lowest prices for electricity in North 
America? We sell most of what we produce to you guys (in the US). And I 
pay $6.5/sq ft / year in rent for my business, so space isn't an issue 
either.
