I'm not running a Mac at the moment but I do have a PPC G3 iMac in the 
loft.  I'm not sure if it has a hardware problem though because it seems 
VERY slow, almost 386 speeds.  Not something I'd expect from a machine 
running at 450MHz.

One of these days I'm going to dig it out and put a newer version of 
Ubuntu on it, last time I had Ubuntu on there it was something like 5.10.
