[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1074788, member: 56379"] I see...that way would make more sense. It is probably possible to take the hard drive out of your G4, put it into a an external hard drive case, and plug it into a new Mac Mini as a backup device. But...the hard drive in your G4 is probably pretty small by today's standards...and the hard drive in any new Apple computer is comparatively speaking very BIG. So it wouldn't be long before your old G4's hard drive would be too small as a backup device for a newer Mac computer. Good luck with your new computer decision. Whatever you choose...it will be a BIG BIG upgrade!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
