iMac 333 cd reader / burner?

I've dug my dear old green machine out of storage and have listed it on the local 'Freecycle'. Its tray cd reader is shot, so I went to OWC to see what I could recommend the new owner get for a bootable USB1 CD reader/burner and OWC didn't list G3 iMac accessories Suggestions ? thanks, Del (

there is background noise that shows up in one channel on Final Vinyl (and thus in one of the speakers also). Its a low level static sound with a beat of about 20 per second. First thing I did was disconnect all peripherals, including iMic. Then went around the house expecting stray

How many bookmarks do you have? Are they in folders? Thousands, all in folders, I don't know where one would get a total number One other thing that slows it way down is all the little bookmark icons, whatever they are called. Loading those slows it down too, maybe there is a corrupted

I think you'll find that Firefox (and perhaps most browsers) simply choke on bookmark lists that big.  Probably best to do some serious weeding.  Think hundreds, not thousands. An app such as BookDog or URL Manager Pro might be helpful. Try moving your massive bookmark file aside, then

You cannot, since you need Classic. That is, if you want to be able to natively boot Mac OS 9.x you need a G4 that is not as new as a FW800 model. If, on the other hand, you only require Classic from Mac OS 10.x up to 10.4, you can also go for a G5. They are beautiful towers, great design

I'd love jumping to 10.5 or 10.6 - but I have enough docs in Pagemill and Appleworks that the jump looks like a bloomin big mountain to climb. Reading this guide to using OS9 apps on Intel macs puts me right off my feed. http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20060509180914879 So if it
