...at the Disk Hospital (sorry, couldn't resist) If $ are an issue, then you might want to consider upgrading the 7300. There are a number of upgrade cards out there to put into them, plus all the instructions you might need to help you get the job done. If that fails to come true, ask us here, if we can help I'm sure we will. A faster processor... more ram... USB & Firewire cards... an ATA controller card so you can use less expensive IDE/ATA hard drives instead of SCSI (which is the kind that your, and my, 7300's typically use). If you don't have the absolute need to go to a G4 iMac or you are weighing the $ factors, you could get along very well with an upgraded 7300. The only advantage I have seen on the new G4's is that they can process faster which will come in handy for intense programs for graphics and video. Digital audio can be handled with even the slower PPC Macs. You will see an incredible improvement if you switched from a modem to DSL or cable internet. Disk Doctor is part of Norton Utilities. I have heard some really awful reviews about Norton Utilities (from members on this list). I have Norton Utilities, and have not found any problem with the programs that would warrant steering you away from it. There are many diagnostic and repair utilities out there, and no shortage of links to compare user feedback concerning them. Hope all turns out well for you! Enjoy.
