Re: Language, I think it's remained civil so far. I've seen no  
attacks, just opinions being stated.

Re: G5 power issues, my own Digital Audio has had an issue with  
shutting itself off mysteriously when using a Radeon 9800 Pro AGP  
card which may be some kind of PC-to-Mac flash job. I just know the  
problem went away by switching back to the computer's original AGP  
Rage 128. As for sleep, this system never does that. I keep it busy  
at all times. It does have a USB 2.0 card, though, so now I wonder  
whether it would have issues. It runs OS 10.4.11.

And I'm thinking of upgrading it to Leopard once my recently  
purchased DVD arrives. Do ye know if I should expect any problems  
doing an in-place upgrade like that? The main problem I face is  
having a 500 GB drive without much back-up space available.
