Hi there, me again. Two things, 1) and B).
A) I am considering getting a CDRW drive. Should I get an external firewire
drive or replace the original internal CD drive (which is kinda noisy
anyway)? I have heard somewhere that the built-in firewire ports on B&Ws can
be unreliable...is that so? I have not used mine so I have no experience
with them. I know I could get a PCI firewire card but that's an extra
expense I would much prefer to avoid. Recommendations for manufacturers,
models, etc.?
2) How can I set up Outlook Express or Mail to go to Safari when I click a
link in an email, rather than launching IE? I suppose I could just delete IE
but maybe there's some other way? I can't see anything in any preferences
anywhere for this.
As always, my thanks!

The firWire port on my B&W G3 rev.1 died and I replaced it with an Adaptec FireWire card. I can't boot from an external FireWire disk and Tech Support at La Cie said it can't be done on a B&W G3. So you're better off replacing the internal CD. This page gives info on silencing a noisy CD <http://www.treeswallow.com/farm/g3vib/>. This would be my choice until it croaks.
Replace the drive with directions and pictures here: <http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/G3-ZONE/hival52x/install.html>. HTH.
