	I'm still running an old Beige G3 desktop which is thankfully still useable since I upped it with a 500Mhz G3 chip, bumped the ram up, gave it a new 60gig HD, and added a 10/100 Ethernet card. I'm holding out on getting a new Mac until I see some G5 action. BUT, I love the iPod. I want an iPod, the question is, if I buy a USB/Firewire combo card, (one that provides power to the firewire ports) will the iPod work with it? Has anyone had any experience with this? Also I have about 12 gig of MP3's, What will my hypothetical 10 gig iPod do when I plug it in and there are more songs then it can fit? I'm running 9.2.2, no X until I get a new computer. Thanks in advance.
