I'd beg to differ. I'm making this post on a 1.42 GHz G4 iBook. The other Mac I'm around is an iMac G5. It's faster, but both hold up beautifully for everything I throw at it (save NeoOffice/J, which appears to be slow for everybody).
However, it would make more sense to start introducing the Mactels towards the low-end, just to avoid ticking off those folks who spend bajillions a year on Macs if something's horribly wrong.
