"Photoshop runs like crap with 700 fonts on a local machine (on a brand new 4gb loaded iMac) just imagine how crap it would be running 2,000 fonts from G4 running over ethernet or wifi, shudder to think!"
A font server/manager is used so as to make 700 fonts available, without actually having them all "loaded" at once. I can't imagine having 700 fonts actually activated at any one time, however I can tell you that the company I work for has well over 10,000 fonts installed via the font server (which is located in an office about 500 miles from the one I work in) and I notice no speed difference using the fonts on the server from the ones installed on my machine.

Hi

As a student I'm forced to milk my old '05 G4 ibook for all its worth, and it has begun to show some wear. One issue in perticular that is bothering me is the fact that the volume does not work at all. All the settings seem to be set up fine, and the mute button hasn't been pressed. I was told to hold PROpt+CMD before turning on my computer, but it hasn't work. Does anyone have any advice for me, besides getting a new computer?

Thanks...

If you're running Logic Pro, you can use Logic Node to offload some processing to other Macs on the local network. This can help you run more plug-ins simultaneously.

I keep my G4 Powerbook for the kids when they come over or company. My MBP and twenty-four inch screen is hands off. I have too many important documents etc. so the old Powerbook is just for that.
