I am considering an iMac G5 (17 or 20 inch) to run the G2 editor, and I have a couple of questions that hopefully one of you guys can answer.

1. Any known problems? Will the G2 editor run fine on an iMac running the latest OS?

2. The iMac screen has a rather dense resolution, so I guess the modules and text will show up rather small. Is this still doable for my 40+ old eyes?

3. When I put the iMac to sleep, and wake it up later, is the connection between editor and G2 still okay? Or will it reconnect automatically?

Hi Smile

1) I'm running latest osx and no problems.

2) you can change the resolution or text size, so don't worry.

3) I haven't tried sleep mode during connection between my g2 and the iMac, but I think that it will close all active connections in sleep mode.

Cheers,
Luca
