As I said, I feel the OS X running on G3/266/160MB is good. Don't know 32MB less (128MB) makes so much difference. And I remember someone posted the pre OS X running on 2400c/G3/80 was tolerable. > installed it with 128 Megs of RAM and really didn't like it. It > was slow on my G3.

But, after using Mac and NeXT for that many years, I appreciate Mac's design as well as its file system. For better future, I would prefer to stick myself more to Unix based system. With 2400c/G3/320MHz/80MB RAM, and 1.5 hrs of life on the road, I would not expect it to run like a champ, just want to have a portable system (4.4 lb) and consistent with my G4 at home. So long as the speed is tolerable, I will consider, and may even up it to 112MB if possible. SK __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
