<<If I upgrade the OS as suggested to 7.5.3, will this blow away the (many) installed applications?>>
No, but I always back up before a major OS install -- just in case something goes awry. If you like, I can send to you a CD-ROM 7.5.3 with the 7.5.5 update. I believe this is legal. If not legal, please someone say so and I will not do it. Downloading 15 or so floppy images for 7.5.3 + the 7.5.5 update and installing from floppies is no fun. It goes so much easier from a CD.
