That's true of course, Matt. Thank you for pointing that out.

However, when Cindy wrote that she couldn't find the name on the  
computer, I immediately thought of the Blue & White, Yikes,  
Sawthooth, Gigabit, Quicksilver, and Mirrored Drive Door models, none  
of which has a name printed on the front of the machine. The Beiges  
all have "Power Macintosh G3" printed plainly on the front.

In any case, we need more information from the original poster before  
we can proceed any further.
