It's a 600 Mhz P4 I am talking about. OSX 10.3 is
sluggish compared to the 1Ghz ones at the store and as
compared to the X86 machines. Of course, with all that

We have a 333Mhz iMac here too, as well as an old
33Mhz Performa. Both still work.

Indeed, ditch YUM! Yum is yucky! They could integrate
a more easily managed version of synaptic (i.e. placed
into URPMI style catagories), that would be good.
