In reply to the questions: For T. L. Miller: I didn't use the Mac supplied file transfer option since I already had the Carbon Copy Cloner in place as my regular backup to an external FireWire Drive. If I hadn't had that available, I certainly would have use Apple's transfer system for getting data form the old computer to the new. For the rest of the setup, I did use the Mac OS X Setup Assistant. I am running OSX 10.3.5. For Sam: I ordered f0orm ClubMac on 7/23/04; the machine was shipped on 8/30/04, and, because of the Labor Day holiday, I received the machine on (9/7/04). Additional info: I read on one of the posts that you should leave the Liquid cooled G-5 on at all times to assure that the liquid cooling system doesn't get plugged somehow. Even though I use a Belkin power protection device, I have been shutting down every night; so far, no problems! Anyone else know more about this possibility for a system failure? Will Thompson
