I think the g4 will be ok, but the g3 machines all depend if they have built in usb or not. If they have usb they should work ok

its the white and blue G3 whit usb, fire wire... we have a dummy G3 that no body uses...i will do a test on it to see if every thing still works...

thanks

Panther will actually run faster on those machines,

BUT

Quark, Streamline and Office 2000 are NOT OS X-compatible programs. They will have to run in Classic. Streamline runs fine in Classic, but Quark has some issues. I don't know about Office 2000 (we have Office v.X).
