Being the impatient sort ... and 14 years old ... my son coerced me into doing something quickly ... so I bought a G5 dual 2.3 for $111 including shipping ... swapped the HDs and video card out, installed 6 GB RAM from the old computer ... pressed the CUDA ... then the power button and put a smile on his face. I will probably be swapping the processors later and parting out what I have left. 1.5 GB RAM, 2.3 Ghz dual processors, 160 GBHD, and case and such. Thanks for all the help ... but Gordian Knot was too complicated ... just slash and burn!

Re: @Dana G5 to MacPro

The nice feature about the Mac Pros is how easy it is to add another HD (it can take 4 - yum!). I found a smallish SATA drive, installed it, made it bootable into Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and reserved all my AW productivity for that volume alone, for which A-works still can run with Rosetta installed. When I'm done, I reboot into Lion (no ML yet) on the main drive and I am good to go with music work. Saved me having to find yet another app to contend with. HTH. Regards, Dana So I will need to get a bootable DVD of 10.6.8 and install it normally on a small internal drive, transfer all my old Applewotks files to it and use it as a bootable drive in the preferences.

G5 to MacPro
Hello All, I just moved from a 2005 G5 2.7 Daulie to a 2009 MacPro 2.66 Quad Core and from Leopard to Mountain Lion ... it is taking some adjustment ... primarily with my older documents in AppleWorks and my mail from Thunderbird. Looking for any viable suggestions to help me save and move my older documents to iWorks9. Thunderbird is another issue entirely. When I migrated from my old MDD to the G%, I simply took my emails on a flash drive and put them in the new Thunderbird file on the G%. I can NOT find that PROFILES file on the MacPro ... so I am unable to bring my mail with me. Again viable suggestions. Miss some of, or have not found how to diminish a window ... double clicking the top of the window does not work, not having scroll buttons is sort of a pain ... but I am getting there. Otherwise it is a fantastic OS and smooth! No issues so far ... fingers crossed. Help and suggestions is greatly appreciated!
