You will have to let us know how the YAAR violation goes. :-D

I was very, very tempted on the iMac--I have a nice reward
check to spend from a recent business deal, but YAAR won
out.

My current PB and rescued Quicksilver are doing less than
they should be at the moment thanks to a variety of things
including rebuilding the dead Wintendo.  I'm still not done
with it--cursing the mobo manuf. who think crippled RAID
"lite" is a reasonable thing....and whose website doesn't
have the drivers in a form to fit on a floppy for XP
installation booting. *grr*

Anyone got a favorite PCI RAID card for x86 boxen?  I
suppose hoping for reasonably priced bootable RAID 5
would be as hopeless as that of Windoze without
BSOD...
