That MipsPro thing is enough to make me wonder if I'd be smarter to go
to OS X, where the development tools are free, and based on the familiar
Gcc.  Or perhaps I missed something.  

But then, G4s are rather expensive, so I'd have to go with a G3 upgraded
to a Geforce and an aftermarket SCSI and video IO card, and either way that
is serious money, more than a nice O2.  Definately means I need to keep 
saving.
