Well... at least it's still running. The dust seemed to be the problem. Although I've never heard of that happening before. Hell, I've got 10 years of dust bunnies in my Mac and never had a problem.

As far as Windows...I'm getting nothing but the runaround trying to get a copy of the operating system.
FutureShop wants $260 (I can't upgrade cause the original is toast so I have to buy the complete package)
eBay has some thing called Vista 2000 for $15 but it sounds too risky and it's gotta be a rip off cause I know there ain't no such thing as Vista made in 2000.

I can't order Vista digitally from Microsoft cause they only accept American credit cards and $260 for an operating system that's basically just a dumbed down version of OSX seems like a waste of money.
I can buy a used dual processor G4 Mac for the same price... so I guess if I can't get Windows working, this thing is going on the scrap heap.

I'll just gut it and use the parts in a real computer. :)
