I do use it for my email and other programs, word etc. Is the mini still ok with the other things I do? I am not sure if I will have a problem transferring all my doc and photos and programs over to a mini . Please let me know how I can do this or who will do it for me. Thanks so much, rollsman
Welcome to the forums, you will find lots of friendly, helpful members here and can learn alot if you take time to look around a bit at the various threads
I have, and continue to, even though I've been here for over 10 years..........
For these uses the mini would be just fine, same for transferring over your documents & photos.....
However, to transfer over the programs themselves, they would have to be run under Rosetta on an older mini that runs OS 10.5 or 10.6. Unless of course you want to buy all new intel-native versions for the mini......
If you are going to make this move, make a back up of everything on the G5, so that you have copies of the files & apps. Time machine backup and/or the OS X Migration assistant would also be useful for this purpose.
