Currently the G4 is running OS 9.2, has 576 megs built-in memory, a mouse that is on the fritz (i.e "snapping" all over the screen), an a Epson ES-1200C 8.5 x 11" scanner & external CD drive/burner - both connected by SCSI. Once I upgrade to OSX, am I gonna have to purchase another external burner & scanner? Any thoughts out there would be greatly appreciated!
