HiI recently got a g4 FW800. I'm currently using a VGA monitor on the DVI
port, and I'm thinking of getting a 17 Studio LCD to plug into the ADC
port.
I'm planning on using the LCD monitor alone most of the time, but using the
VGA monitor in spanning mode occasionally for graphics/drafting. If I
Cool! Thanks for the info!

Any thoughts on which OS to install first, and which should be in the first

One solution to that, if you have access to a later iMac with a DVD drive is
to put the disk in that computer and install 10.4, then put the drive back
in your older G4.

ones that sound appealing and burn a live cd. If you decide to install

I had not heard of Classilla. I used iCab before I upgraded the G3, but
nagware wouldn't be appropriate for kids. Is there a big collection of kids
games and edu-games similar to gCompris? Or does one need to troll

Classilla could use a a listing on wikipedia.

Keyboard and mouse are probably the slowest. A printer is also pretty slow,
but a faster transfer will speed things up if it has a memory buffer and

I've got one of those dual 1.42 G4's, with the maximum memory as well. It's
a very nice, fast computer. I was somewhat put off by some reliability
reports on the G5, and they were over my price range as well.

It's hard to believe that someone would pay the big bucks for a new mac

I certainly wouldn't buy one without a usb port, and I don't think I'd buy
