First, thank you all for your suggestions.
Today I bought a Trust Cuby for 13 Euro.
I got it because it was the only webcam with audio cable (3,5 mm jack) for
the microphone connection; all other webcams had USB connection only (thus,
for both video and audio).
I chose this solution because I want

Actually I have a PlainTalk mic (from an old Performa 6400), and it doesn't
work with the G5.

What do you mean? AFAIK, they are automatically saved. No user intervention

Ok, today I got the Logitech C210 webcam.
It's small and cute, it's USB cord is a little short (1,5 m / 5 feet), but
above all it just works.
Video and audio are recognized in QuickTime Player, Skype and Audacity
(audio only). Quality is better than the Trust Cuby.
At 19 euro, I'm a happy camper.

CDs, definitely.
DVDs, I think you have to limit the max speed you're writing with - I don't
think a G3/400 can hold 8x DVD writing, but 2x should be fine.

You mean, how slower OSX is compared to OS9?
Yes, I confirm that. Huge difference.
It makes you think Apple developed OSX just to sell faster

Ah, that's likely the problem: USB ports aren't standard on a PM G3, so they
are enabled by system extensions AFTER the boot process. :-)

Hi all!
My PM G5 2.7 DP goes generally fine, but it has some quirks now and then.
This one is quite odd: once in a while (let's say once every one or two
weeks), when switching the G5 on the DVD drive opens up.
This happens just a couple seconds after pressing the ON button (so it

Yeah, I thought about that. But I never touch the mouse when I boot up, and
I cannot think why it would behave that way only once in a couple weeks (or
more).
