If you have any other older Macs around be careful about upgrading above 10.3.9. Tiger (10.4) terminates the ability to access any Mac operating less than 8.5 or so using the AppleTalk filing protocols over ethernet. I had to back out my G4-400 to keep my SE/30 file server operational. This 8500 running 9.1 spoke to OS 10.4 but I avoid trying to use it as a file server even with 10.3.9. The only thing I miss is the extensive improvements to X-11 in newer Mac OS X's. 10.5 does not repair the damage though I'm pretty sure it can be used on your G4. -- Applescript syntax is like English spelling: Roughly, though not thoroughly, thought through.
