    iMac G4 Leopard Installation

    So, as you may know, I sold all my PPC Macs but one, my iMac G4 700MHz. It was running Tiger, but after I heard the LeoRebirth dock issue would soon be fixed, I decided to upgrade to Leopard. The way I used to do this was to boot my iBook G4 (which, by Apple's requirements, supported Leopard)...

    Alternative USB 1.1 keyboards for G4, or repairing?

    The point, briefly: I got a 17" 1GHz iMac G4. I got that computer for writing, so having a usable keyboard is a necessity. I'm weighing my options – buying a used keyboard for a replacement isn't just gross as you'll have to do the cleaning work, but also, it's a hit and miss if some keys...

    Resolved Nocturnal distraction-free writing in Tiger?

    I've just joined the club, as I managed to track down a neat 17" iMac G4. I wanted to mostly have it as a writing platform for late nights. On my main computer, I've used OmmWriter and FocusWriter because of these very important points: Distraction free: Full screen; None or barely any...

    HP PhotoSmart 5514 Drivers for iMac G4?

    Hi, I'm trying to get an HP PhotoSmart 5514 communicating with a G4 iMac running 10.4.11. Following a suggestion on another site, I tried the drivers for the Photosmart c7200 and no go. I saw a comment on this site stating that as of two years ago HP was still advertising the 5514 as being...
