I have been able to connect to several Mac computers, but can anyone

on my G4. Iam far from alone. There have been about 100 posts on the
subject--all very similar. It is not just a G4 that is the problem.
With the computer in the sleep mode, pressing any key should wake it ...

I have been living with a G4 PB and having missed the G5 altogether
have been thinking about an Intel imac. Apple refurbished White-border
20" 2.16GHz Imac sells for 1100 when available, presently out of stock.
Therefore imagine my excitement when I learnt that a CompUSA (an

I will be replacing my Windows machine this Christmas with a Mac Pro
and Parallels.
My old machine has an external USB Phillips sound card and Logitech
5.1 speakers.   Can I keep these and use them with my new computer?

The printing system in Leopard seems to be improved a lot. But ever
since I upgraded to Leopard, my layout settings for printing are being
ignored, so I can't print two-sided pages. The printer is Lexmark T632,
