sounds like a good plan doing a separate install. Classic will run fine on a G5 with Panther. I would start again but I like fresh starts. No reason not to use your sparse image. Saves setting everything up again. On 28/11/2008, at 5:16 PM, Diana Graham Stevens wrote: Rob, thanks for your

Hi Diana Yes the G5 will run Classic fine. Just a G5 with Leopard on it won't run Classic, as it's Leopard that doesn't work with Classic anymore. (The hardware G5 is fine, it's the software part that breaks it.) Hope that helps a little. Kind Regards Daniel On 28/11/08 6:20 PM, Rob Findlay

Hi Bob, No, I actually use Firefox not Safari - but it got me thinking - I hadn't thought to blame the browser :) Anyway, I fired up Safari and gave that a shot but got the same result (same file kind) as for firefox. So my thinking is it's somewhere in the Apple system/finder prefs - but I

Ken, in the USA you can only buy the iPhone bundled with a 2 year contract with ATT so it is not worth buying there. That is why it only costs US$199 - you have to keep paying at least $30 per month for the next 2 years as well. -Mart Sent from my iPhone On 29/11/2008, at 3:07 PM, Ken
