[QUOTE="chasesmeeks, post: 1403274, member: 96109"] Hi folks. Its me again. Many thanks for the past advice. All was spot on. Now for some new questions. Since I now have two Macs; iMac and MacBookPro I think I need a wireless setup. Should I go with Airport Extreme or Apple Air Port Express? As I understand it I just plug in my SURFboard cable modem to one of the boxes. What else do I need to buy? Can my windows based son get into my wifi when he visits? Etc, etc, etc. Next I am on 10.4 with my iMac. Have backed up to my hard drive all the stuff I want to save. Have purchased Snow Leopard in disk form and I am ready to load. Do I do a clean install (what ever that is) or something else? The only iLife stuff I use is iPhoto and iTunes. Will my 10.4 version work or do I need to get new apps from Apple? BTW have installed 2 each 2 gig sticks of RAM n my iMac (I know only 3 will be used but someone advised me to install matched pairs--got the 2 sticks from OWC since Apple no longer sell this item). What is the best software for copying movie DVDs. All help/advice will be greatly appreciated. Chase [/QUOTE]
