ganymede served as tsundoku's primary desktop from for over seven years, December 2003 to May 2011. Beginning life as the entry single 1.25 GHz model of the Mac OS 9-bootable "QuarkXPress Edition" Power Mac G4s, it saw many upgrades during its service life in a largely successful attempt to keep up with the times.

==Running Mac OS 9==

ganymede has at the time of writing only ever run Mac OS X 10.3-10.5 and Mac OS 9.2. Though it was introduced after the Power Mac G5 as an OS 9-bootable option for professionals relying on software not yet ported to OS X or usable in Classic Mode (namely QuarkXPress), running in Mac OS 9 was found to result in undesirable fan behavior. While in OS X, the fans would settle on a loud-but-acceptable speed, accelerating gradually according to cooling needs, in Mac OS 9 the fan speed gradually increases to a higher idle speed than in OS X, which remains constant until the machine is shut down.
