Hi all, Until recently I have been using a PB Wallstreet G3 300 and OS9, which gives you an idea of where I'm coming from! I have upgraded to a G4 QS 2002 800/256/40/CDR... and I want to add more RAM, HD capacity and a DVD burner. I'll be running OSX10.4, and having a close look at 10.5 when it comes out. My main uses are email, word processing and surfing the net. I also want to store my CD collection (600+ CDs) in FLAC format on a large HD. I also have a (spare) graphite base station that I would like to use in place of buying an airport card (is this a go-er?) What would experienced G4 users suggest? I would prefer buy secondhand to keep costs down! Thanks, Charles -- "The question is", said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
