Studio Pro (which the pirates at Apple won't sell unless you buy the

software needs to be installed also. I have OSX 10.4.8 for the Intel iMac

My G4 Sawtooth appears to be dying a slow death (I know that J21 has a
problem, so I no longer use it), and so I experience occasional
problems with it, most of which are memory-related. The latest anomaly
