My gosh! I'm glad that eveything turned out well, thank the Lord. Incidentally, there was a kid of one of the faculty members at one of the schools I work for that took a massive head injury from a high school football game he was in. It was all over the news as well. Lots of prayer is what brought him out of his coma IMO and he's doing well now, attending school again and getting back to life. Your daughter is truly blessed.

BTW, that's a nice find on the PowerComputing PowerWave. I used to have a Motorola StarMax 4000 until I gave it to my father. A guy from a LUG here in my area had it and offered it to me for free. I made good use of the sucker with Debian Sarge and Mac OS 9.1 at the time. If your PowerWave is anything like my StarMax, then you probably have PCI slots, meaning you could put any PCI video card that's compatible with the Mac in there. ATI and NVIDIA have some Mac-supported PCI cards that should be very inexpensive now. Heck, my old 3dfx Voodoo3 2000 card ran wonderfully on my StarMax, and the nice thing about that particular card is that you can flash it for either PC or Mac since it had enough space in the firmware for either. Unfortunately, this isn't the case for the ATI and NVIDIA PC-compatible PCI cards They only had enough space for the PC firmware which was smaller than the Mac firmware (the Mac ones had enough space for both, hence them costing more than the PC-only ones).
