Hi Mr. Ox, It sounds like you want to use a Mail Merge (you "merge" a database into an email, replacing certain fields with fields from the database). You can do this with Word 2004 or 2008, but only if you use Microsoft Entourage as your mail client. I don't believe Mac Mail supports this but I

You might want to look for a "GeeThree Stealth Serial Port" device. It wouldn't work in your cube, but it should be installable into any G4 PM. I have one on my QS- it uses the modem connector on the logic board to create a serial port, which works in both OS9 and OS X. It functions identically t

I had a similar problem with the Apple Superdrive that came with my QS- it would read silver (pressed) DVDs and CDs, would refuse to read burned DVDs, or burn blank DVDs. It would burn and read CDs just fine, it just had trouble with DVDs. I think the lasers on the old optical drives just wear ou

Hi Dave, I got this USB2 card from amazon, for less than $10. It works great on my Dual G4 QS 2002- I've used external hard drives and ipods with it, with no problems. Don't plug your keyboard or mouse into it though, or else you'll have trouble waking it up from sleep mode. Apparently OS X disa

It's unsupported, but intel macs will boot from an APM volume. If you accidentally format your boot drive as an APM volume, at boot time it will take a little longer but it will boot eventually (you'll get the broken folder icon for a few seconds, then the apple icon). -sri On Jun 8, 11:06 pm, J

Hi Baha, If you boot OS X (and a 400 mhz pismo should boot up to tiger without any trouble), you will need a USB bluetooth adapter to use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. There are many compatible adapters available; a site specializing in mac hardwire like other world will tell you about compatib

Note that the QS won't support a G4 pulled from a MDD system, you need to look for a G4 pulled specifically from a QS or earlier (or an upgrade card, but for the most part I find them overpriced; you can buy a 1.6ghz G4 upgrade card for $199, or a dual G4 1.25 ghz MDD off ebay for $209...) Check t
