I use a lot of graphics programs which run fine, But!, the 3D programs eat
up all memory and most of processor speed, so the system drags and runs s l
o w or quits.
My question is, can I keep my OS 9.1 and run it along side the newer G4 (OS
X) iMac with all my favorites?
Yes. More accurately, you will have to upgrade to 9.22 (free), but other than that Classic can run almost all 9-compatible programs just fine.
I assume that a newer G5 iMac may be on the horizon.
Don't look for one anytime soon. You may not have noticed, but there are between five and nine fans in a G5 depending on model. The iMac in its present form simply has no room for that, ergo no G5 iMac. I should think you are looking at at least a YEAR before changes in the G5 enable it to run in a machine as compact as the iMac.

That the PC world would doggedly stick to a dull, unimaginative, clinical term like 'IEEE 1394' (notice how it just rolls off the tongue -- NOT) for the sole purpose of *saving a few pennies* over using an imaginative, exciting, visually-stimulating term like 'FireWire' tells you EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW about the PC world and that whole industry-wide mindset.
