Lewis, Regarding your "Road-warrior" 2300c. I recommend the following: 1.) Upgrade RAM to 56MB if you can justify the cost. Difficult to find upgrades, though. 2.) Use OS 7.6.1 with the Appearance manager extensions if you have limited RAM. I used to run 8.6 on my 2300c with 56MB. OS 8.1 is often considered a great OS for the 2300c b/c of the greater amount of PowerPC native code included. Choice of OS for 2300's is a particularly explosive topic, but I don't think that anyone here on the list recommends 7.5.5 over 7.6.1 for any '040 or PPC Mac. 3.) iCab is a great little browser. It's quick and has a small memory footprint. Also, IE 4.5 or 4.0.1 is a decent choice. 4.) I like Eudora Pro 3.1 for quick and dirty POP based e-mail. If you need IMAP compatibility, you will need a newer program. This is a commercial program and it's hard to find, I assume. The newer versions are a bit slower. I have used Eudora Pro 3.1 on '030 based macs with no speed problems. Tom PS: Really, if you don't want to run 8.1, definitely get 7.6.1 much more stable and improved feature set. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
