OK, thanks for this. I've since obtained a Power Mac G4 free of charge from www.freecycle.org though. I've hardly used it so far, due to lack of a monitor, then one night with a monitor I bought without a PSU. Either the PSU or the monitor, or both, have blown out now. The details from "About this Mac" are OS X V10.3.9, CPU 867Mhz Power PC G4, 2Mb L3 Cache. Memory 1.25Gb SDRAM. Some more info from System Profile is Boot ROM V4.2.3fl. My ambition is to edit some Apple Logic Pro V9 music files which I then work on in a recording studio, or to bring files home from the studio and continue work on them at home. It seems I'll be able to make some Garageband files, then work on them in the studio, but I don't know if I'll ever succeed in continuing to work on the Logic Pro files at home with this setup. At the moment I'm in the studio for 2 hours, once per week.
