Thanks for posting the little 7.5/7.1 mix trick. I'll have to try that on
some of my experiment machines. I wonder if one could take 7.1, do the
finder swap and a few choice extensions, and run OT 1.2 on it? That would
be extremely useful.
There is one compelling reason, though it's not compelling at all if you
don't have the RAM, to run 8.1 on a Duo. 8.1 lets you move windows by
dragging any of the borders. This is kind of nice when you have limited
screen size. It also allows trashing with keystrokes, which I think can be
got using some shareware programs but is rather nice because the little Duo
trackball is a pain for long distance moving.
Are you really in Poland?
