Woo-hoo! Thanks for the help - I thought I had it installed but apparently not. I downloaded 1.1.1 and then 1.1.2 from Apple this morning and now I can surf in glorious black and white. Next step is installing an email program (Eudora Light or is something else better?). One correction to the above, it's actually running System 7.5.3. Or is that officially OS 7.5.3? When was the change, I know this one starts up with the new-style Mac OS logo. ---- JSH -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
