I have a choral score with a lot of "da va da ba" and so on syllables that look well spaced in page view. When I print the pages some of those syllables (attached to octave notes) get "glued" together. So I assume it is a printersetup (I use alaser HPdevice). Some hints? Thank you

David, As far as I know, you can't boot from a USB drive; it's too slow. I think you can from a firewire drive ... which you probably don't have on your G3 unless you've added a special card to attach it to, and even then it might not work, not being a part or the original package. EFF

Actually, the speed of the USB connection *on the machine in question* (a G3 iMac without USB 2.0) is, in fact, the reason Apple did not include support from booting from USB hard drives. The _continued_ lack of boot support for USB drives on Macs is clearly a legacy issue: Apple invented
