Apple link re/what iPod syncs to what: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60971
Your choices seem to be:
(a) legacy (used/reconditioned) iPod that syncs via Firewire
(b) upgrading the Mac

Thanks, that Apple chart is helpful. Now all I need to do is try to figure out which models those are.
Is what the article calls "iPod (5th generation late 2006)" the same as what the refurb store calls "Apple Certified Refurbished iPod (previous generation)" and comes in 30GB and 80GB sizes? I think they are from the descriptions I read.

Seems like those will work slowly with the USB 1.x of the G3 iBook and then will be fast again in the future when we upgrade the Mac.
