Thanks Martin. Good advice. I "unfortunately" also have a relatively new iMac that at times dazzles and I can see the "shortcomimngs" in the G4. For instance my wife loves to do a daily jigsaw puzzle but I can only get it to open with the iMac. No big deal but it illustrates the difference. I know 125 megs is not enough for the G4 and I'll max it out. I just didn't want to be in the position where programs required OS X or higher to work.
