On one of the Mac sites I was recommending last week, there's a really good essay explaining why Apple is not going to make Mac OS X available to other manufacturer's PCs.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If I only had a brain...
If you want a TiVo with a lifetime subscription, do it NOW.
As of 4/15, TiVo will no longer sell lifetime subscriptions.

What's the best way to add USB ports to a G5? It seems like the most space-saving way would be through one of the PCI slots, but the reviews here make me very suspicious of the workability.

What vintage G5 is it? If it's a new one then you have to use PCIe cards, which are not backwards compatible and which make getting cards kind of a pain.

I bought it last May, so it's almost exactly a year old.

Why do you want more USB ports? Wouldn't a USB hub be easier?

Not really, because I'd have to find room for it on my desk. But I'm open to suggestions.

You could stick it to the top of your G5. Be easier to plug things in and out there.
I have this Belkin hub. It's quite small and has worked fine.
