12-19-08	System update from 10.5.1 to 10.5.6.
12-06-08	Salvaged 64 MB RAM from the trash! Brought current RAM to 896 MB.
10-16-08	I have finally come into the 21st Century by upgrading to OS X Leopard!
02-20-08	Added 64 MB of RAM from a spare PC. Tried to get the LaserWriter Select 360 working through a Keyspan USB Twin Serial Adapter, but failed due to the LaserWriter being an AppleTalk printer.
02-18-08	Reinstalled OS 9.2.1 this time on top of my old 6400 install of 9.1. My Epson scanner works now; it didn't work as well before I did this.
02-13-08	Transfered most files from the 6500 and started using the Quicksilver as my main computer.
02-12-08	Started the Quicksilver for the first time. I was amazed at how quiet she was, after hearing horror stories of the "G4 Windtunnel." And there was no OS. After figuring out how to open the pod bay doors, I was able to install Mac OS 9.2.1, currently the most modern OS in my possession. The hard drive needed to be initialized first. My Quicksilver now boots!
02-11-08	Quicksilver arrives from LEM Swap List.
