Now a stupid question...what is the difference, if any, between 1.x and 2.x hardware? Is one more current than the other?
Thanks again,

Steve,
That's a good question -- wish I knew the answer.
Look here for some background: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=7820
There are apparently two Apache hardware configurations/generations: g3 and g4. G3 devices all get 1.xx bootloader versions, and g4 devices get 2.xx bootloaders. Whatever differences exist between g3 and g4 devices seem to be minimal, even negligible aside from the bootloader issues - most people don't seem to know (or care) whether they have one or the other.
