[Fmpro] OS X upgrading

[Tracey Larvenz]

Speaking of tough upgrades, any one who's got a G5 is in for a world  
of trouble if your AGP video card goes out, as there is a huge  
shortage of them and the factory isn't going to put any more out  
until the end of February.  I called or emailed over 50 retailers,  
including Apple, and no one could help.  I was lucky to find one on  
craigslist.
