I have a G4 350 accelerated to 1 gighz with 1 gig of ram & 2 internal HDs reading the o'reilly pocket guide to OS 10.4 it looks like he's saying that it requires some special technique to move your itunes file to the external drive. Is he trying to sell another book, because I seem to have done it by dragging and dropping. 2nd question my number pad crashes the computer, I have changed the keyboard back to the mac keyboard and the problem is the same. Using a trick you guys talked about in an earlier conversation I unplugged the keyboard and the dvd tray stopped opening on startup. any help would be appreciated. paul
