We are developing a driver on Mac OS 10.4 which is a 64-bit OS. Now,
PowerPC G4 is a 32-bit machine and G5 a 64-bit machine.
Tiger can be installed on both.
Tiger claims native support for both 32-bit and 64-bit applications.

I am the recent purchaser of an Apple-Intel iMac G5 running Mac OSX
Tiger, and I have a few inquiries and grievances. If anybody could help

Most of my apps are still for old Mac OS and my machine is very slow,

Hello all...
I'm a kind of newbie in Mac OS X, so apologize if I'm asking something I
should know... :-)

I'm trying to help someone with a Mac G4 running OS9.  His system froze and
after rebooting, it displays a folder icon, which alternates between a face
and a question-mark.
Any ideas?

My wife's iBook has suddenly stopped being able to see our AirPort base
station (older, "UFO"-style).  My Compaq laptop running Linux (Fedora
Core 4) can use the wireless network with no problem.  I've tried
reseating the AirPort card, but that doesn't help.

I need a back up Mac for my home (2 humans 4 cats).  I am currently
using a G5 (love it).  I have two, very old MACs that I use for spares:
an old G3 and a 7600 power PC.  I am looking for an inexpensive G4 for a
