A Tale of Two OS's

The first good computer I ever had was a Power Mac G4. When we moved to Pacific Grove, it kind of got put out of use. Lately, I've been trying to get it working again, and am installing some free programs like OpenOffice on it. However, OpenOffice doesn't natively run on Mac OS 10.2, so I had to install a parallel for Unix called xDarwin to make it run. It looks kind of weird, but runs great. When I get a chance, and a new ethernet cable, I'll route the DSL over to it and install Firefox so we can have internet.
