Re: Cube USB 2.0 possible?
I read on another post that the AirPort original card is a PCMCIA card if so than the Airport slot would also be a PCMCIA connection? So can I plug in one of my PIMCIA USB 2.0 cards in The Cube and have 2.0 ports? The Cube uses an Ethernet connection for the net so I have no use for the AirPort slot. I'm sure modification of the cage would be required and I'm up for that. One of my cards is a flush card so all that I'd need to do is make clearance for a cable leading to a hub.

Re: Cube USB 2.0 possible?
I believe if you read that thread thoroughly you will find that the slot is not a true PIMCIA slot, but rather only accommodates Apple's modified PIMCIA original AirPort card. Tina Well I was drawn by this statement and I and didn't know the AirPort card is a modified PIMCIA. A little Googling suggests that if you're willing to forego the use of the Airport (or simply don't have one), you can make use of some other PCMCIA cards in the Quicksilver, Anyway it's easy enough to put a card in and see if it works,I'm wondering if maybe some system hack may be in order to get it to work.

Re: Mail address export import
but in your follow up you say:I use Apple Mail app and when I go between mail boxes the address's that are available seem to only be ones previously used on the particular box even though they're all in the same app. This is a horse of a different kettle of fish. Here you're describing not having the same addresses available between mailboxes on a single Mac. This is a weird error, not normal behavior. I have 6 mail boxes I use 1 inbox that displays all the mail, depending on which mail box I write from indicates the address's available to me, this is the problem I'm having, I always thought Address Book had something to do with this but for some reason I'm doing something wrong. Once I've used an address in a particular mail box it is available the next time around. It's some what of a chore to hunt down an address from another box to use it. Also in the Mail app what does Synchronize all accounts mean? I've clicked it many time thinking this is the way to get every box in sync. So I guess this is a two part problem, once I get all the address's working on all the boxes I need to move the whole package to all the other machines. My reason for the USB drive transfer is I don't always have internet at all times at all machines.

Re: Mail address export import
Just to be clear, here when you say 'mail box' you mean a different email account, correct? So that you have a unified inbox, and if you click the reveal triangle next to the Inbox you see a separate Inbox for each account, correct? Yes this is correct. If you open the Previous Recipients window, the contents should change when you switch between those inboxes...if this is the problem. This does change, I've never noticed this window before. I'm now thinking there's a way to copy these to the other boxes? If so do they duplicate or just add new? It's not going to kill me to try some of this, I keep everything backed up. What version of Mac OS and Mail are you using? I use 10.4 11 10.5.8 and 10.6.4. I of coarse use the resident Mail apps per OS. I search an address in the spotlight box and then copy and paste. It's a little hairy with a lot of pages open.

Re: I just bought a Powermac G4 dual 800
And yes, it is the fastest way, if you don't count the work to make a CCC copy. For only one Power Mac the effort is propably more time consuming than to install a fresh Mac OS X – provided you don't reinstall every week! p.s. yes, I've also got CCC images laying around… waiting to be used, to save time… Actually I find the Tiger CCC's a lot more handy as not to go through Java hell. I keep CCC's updated for all my systems so a scratch install is rare aroun here:-) But either way there is some time involved depending on the CCC size.
