    Trying to convert my wife...

    For Yahoo!, you'd be better using Adium (http://www.adiumx.com/faq.php) it's soooo much better than the Yahoo! client and has the bonus of working with Yahoo!, MSN AOL etc, simultaneouly over multiple, or a single, account(s)

    Run programs from external drive?

    That should be fine, I run programs on my girlfriends mac frequently using my iPod. Some apps need to install files in your application support folder so you'll probably have to plug the HD in to the iBook and then install the apps to the FW HD, or copy all your, say, photoshop files from...

    Advice on Mac G4 DP 450...

    That's a good deal plus you should be able to run both your monitor and the one you get with the mac simultaneously. As far as i'm aware you should be able to do it with the stock card or, if not, do it with a card worth (on eBay) about the same as a scanner! Oh, and OS X is soooooooo much...

    Stop iPhoto launching.

    Open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist in textedit, scroll to the line <key>AskHotPlugAction</key> and change the value to <true/>. Save, launch iPhoto and click no in the "do you want to open iPhoto when a camera is plugged in?" window. Sorted.

    The theme's page also includes replacement buttons and form elements and, true it's keyboard support is a bit crap,but it's sooooooooo fast, esp. downloads after changing it's default config.

    ATI Rage 128 on B&W G3

    I'd recommend simply resetting the PRAM (boot up holding apple+option+p+r and wait 'til you hear 3 chimes). Also, have a look through http://xlr8yourmac.com/G3-ZONE/ for any info related to your problem.

    Missing processor power

    Drag your terminal window downwards 'til you can see the finder listed and i'll bet my left pinkie that that's using all of the spare power, coupled with fix_prebind (whatever that is...). I have the same problem, I just enabled the finder quit option in tinker tool and I quit the finder when...
