Then how come when I walked down the hall earlier this evening and checked our parts bin, there were 6 brand new G5 motherboards sitting right there, still in their boxes? It sure looked like they were sitting in stock as spares, in case we ever needed them. And since they had Apple logos on the boxes, I am pretty sure where they came from.
