Yes, Eric the G3 is very impresive. Printing and Ethernet problems are due to its superior speed.

>since the Ethernet issue is due to a simple timing glitch a fix for the driver should be released very soon<

Time will tell how easy it is to resolve this timing Glitch. Apple has yet to make a comment on the timing of a new ethernet driver.

Here is what they have said:

A 10/100 MB auto-sensing hub polls the interface to determine the speed. In the process of the hub attempting to determine the interface speed, the Ethernet driver in the Power Macintosh G3 computers is performing a self diagnostic. Unfortunately the Ethernet driver completes the self diagnostic before the hub has determined the link speed and therefore determines that the network is down.

Solution: A new Ethernet Driver needs to be installed.
