[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 999412, member: 42497"] No you did not offend me and it was a serious suggestion. Some folk have troubles accepting the differences between pc and macs but I use both a Mac and a Dell Latitude. Wireless keyboard and mouse sure worked for me when in Tiger. Be aware you do need a Bluetooth/Airport wireless combo card in Dual Cores and they are rare and dear. Purchased mine from LA and had local Down Under Mac dealer install all up about $350.00 all up. If you do not wish to spend that much at this stage the KB and mouse will work with a USB2 D-Link 120 dongle. Suggest you open the G5 up, remove air vent and fan and give it a good clean out as they are real dust accumulators. Carpet will be no problem apart from dust. Built a 10" high box for mine to stand on and have had no problems whatsoever. Here is a G5 Dual Core manual. Make sure you actually have a Dual Core, they use DDR2 memory and have PCIE graphics and slots:- [url]http://support.apple.com/manuals/#late%202005%20manual[/url] [/QUOTE]
