Is the 3rd Gen. iPod compatible with OS ...

I haven't synced up my 3rd Gen. iPod since I moved from my old iBook G4 to my somewhat new (Intel) Macbook Santa Rosa. I was having problems formating this iPod on my Macbook and went back to reinstall factory settings on iPod through the iBook in order to get it working again... I believe but I did a bunch of things awhile back to get the thing working again (I can't remember if I then got it to work on my Macbook after I reset it to factory settings on my iBook, and then it didn't work anymore after I reinstalled the HD on the Macbook; or if it just didn't work at all).

I know you have to use Firewire cable in order to charge and mess with settings on the iPod but I am wondering if they are compatible with the newer Macs even if they have firewire support? I also want to install iTunes 9 and Snow Leopard and I am wondering if the iPod will be completely incompatible with both of them?

I'd really like to know if I can keep this iPod going for awhile. It was a hand-me-down present from my brother and I have since installed a new battery that seems to last forever. Any help you guys can give, I'd really appreciate.

Thanks
