[G4] G4 400 (PCI) success

[Celia Lawton-Livingstone]

I just wanted to let those of you who helped me with some questions about my 
Power Mac that It's now up and running with OS X 10.3.9.

I added 256mb of Ram and after a visit to Apple.com discovered that I didn't 
need OS 9 after all as the firmware didn't need updating to run OS X.  I was 
even more pleased to find that the restore discs for a G4 iBook I was given 
installed without a hitch (can you imagine trying to install Vista on a 1999 
PC?... in your dreams) and I updated it to the present OS.  I've also found 
that my mini usb mouse works very nicely with it too... can't stand that 1 
button mouse I'm afraid... I keep wanting to right-click... LOL.  Just needs 
some more RAM, extra usb ports, a wireless card, a DVD-RW and I'll be 
happy... I really like it and I've even been looking at new iMacs... not as 
expensive as I thought.

My first impressions of the operating system are favourable... very similar 
to my Ubuntu distro in the way it works so I don't think it will take too 
long for me to be completely comfortable with it.
