One quick word of appreciation to Loran. I'm sure we will all agree that we appreciate the time and expense you put forth in maintaining this list for all of us. I have always enjoyed it.
Thank you,
George

  Sure, Peter! The hardware hasn't changed. It's still a simple, first
  generation G4 Mac Mini. It was running the client version of OS X 10.4, with
  some add-on programs (mainly from MacPorts) to make it act as a server.
  Unfortunately, Apple security patches were starting to break things, like
  email & spam filtering. So it was getting a bit hard to maintain.
  So I obtained the server version of 10.4, which pretty much works out of the
  box. Now we're running a nice, clean server install that should extend the
  service life of the hardware - for as long as 10.4 is supported, anyway. The
  transfer went pretty smoothly - the toughest job was getting Phono-L to play
  nicely with the new email system.

  You might ask why I stuck with 10.4 rather than upgrade to the current
  10.5... hardware limitations. 10.5 is just too much to lift on the G4.

  So there you go, in a nutshell!
