Games That I Missed4d ago

I'm running late, but I am enjoying reading all of this #Marchintosh stuff. It's making me feel that I should poke my own PowerMac with a stick, too.

I have a Graphite PowerMac with dual 450 MHz G4s and a clean install of OS 10.4.6. I am also nearly entirely unfamiliar with this era of Macs. Is there a safe and reasonable way to get applications on here over the Internet anymore? Or am I stuck with ferrying software over at USB 1.1 speeds?

@GamesMissed I usually transfer software with either CD-Rs (burned with external burner on a modern computer) or use Ethernet to transfer from my NAS (which can do AFS)

@thomasfuchs Somehow this had not yet occurred to me. Turned on AFP on my NAS, and now I have a convenient way to get my data on and off! Thank you, very much!

@thomasfuchs I am more excited about listening to "Chicago Transit Authority" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Transit_Authority_(album)), streamed over my network and played through the system speaker, than is likely reasonable. Thank you for your suggestion.

And, @MuseumJoe, I hit up Macintosh Garden for a lightweight MP3 player (I don't want to figure out how to use iTunes right now) and found MacAmp Lite X. Downloaded it directly onto the G4's hard drive, added it to my Applications folder, and it works like a charm.
