PowerMacs are probably the way to go, though be wary of the latest PCI
powermacs using Open Transport. If you use SLIP or PPP on your Mac now,
the serial/dial-up protocols under OT are known to be quite buggy. Some
of those issues are resolved under OT 1.08, but not all. OT is fine with
Ethernet interfaces, however. As far as high-end graphics, they may be
fairly capable, but I have seen...oh..nevermind...I don't want to start
some Mac/PC war.
