------- Hi, David - My impression has led me to decide a G4 upgrade for my S900 will not be a prudent thing costwise in addition to having some unsettling feeling that I may run into conflicts. I speak only for my situation and limits placed on how much I want to spend on the machine. I'm still straddling the fence on whether to spend the money on a G3/500 XLR8 Carrier card setup, which I think has reached a price point to be reasonable for an old machine like the S900. But with the most recent Apple G4 tower lineup and pricing, it's a tough call. As a Photoshop user, a G4 would be nice, but maybe not necessarily in the S900. I don't think I can take full advantage of the processor in it. I can continue to use it as-is for the SCSI film scanner, CD burners and the serial printers and use a new G4 Apple for crunching the photo files. The external firewire drive I recently bought with this in mind would come in handy when the day comes (who knows when...) Your situation, ofcourse, will be different.
