So, after a year and a half of using my G4 I got a mini-mac and 21" flat screen!! Anyway I'm pretty stoked. Leopard is way better than I thought!!!

Good going! Glad you got the Mini. The Mini will always be special to me as it was my first brand new Mac. I also got a Mini to replace my Power Mac G4 500 Sawtooth.

I used Time Machine right after I downloaded the updates. I have a tendency of erasing hard drives :p.
Still need to get VLC and Stuffit. I tried SongBird and wasnt a fan of it. Liked iTunes better personally. Thanks for the advice :)

That's weird that your DIGITAL AUDIO has none.
If mine had no sound I would throw it out the window.
Or just give it to my deaf brother,but I would be sad.
