Your comments are all valid, Chip.  But I find the investment in the new 
computer is only the beginning - software upgrades, new equipment to 
replace all of the SCSI devices, time on new learning curve... So getting 
out of "Classic" is not my top priority yet.  

The save to PDF only works in OSX, not classic.  The print to pdf 
shareware chooser extension works for simple things, but is inferior to 
distilled postscript files.

Does any use Excel vX and the save to PDF?  Do you get only one pdf file 
from "printing" multiple worksheets?  (Excel 2001 & earlier creates a 
separate postscript file for each worksheet.)

FWIW, I find booting in OS9 the computer (iBook, 800mHz G3) is much 
faster; that's the mode I use when trying to get serious work done.
