Bless you! Do you want me to erect an altar in your name? Do you have an ETA
on those? It will affect my timetable of backgrading to Entourage 2001.

Again, thank you.

I'm talking of comparing the number of users running Entourage/Office 2001,
versus those running Entourage/Office 2001. I have a feeling that the 2001
market is still significantly larger.

Of course there's enormous demand in a forum for OS X users, for a product
they want to use :-)

How much is 'fast enough' in comparison to 'how it was under OS 9'?

It's a G4/667 wit 512mb - in addition, a G4/867 with 1.5 gb.

Both are plenty fast with those operations with 2001 (even under Classic)
but slug along under OS X (comparatively). By themselves, they are 'plenty
fast' I'm sure - it just becomes obvious when one is used to the speed it
had before - particularly when part of the slow down is watching windows
redraw.

Well, IE is at a pretty decent state - maybe the addition of better control
over JavaScript pop-ups, and some languishing busg - but then it's in pretty
good shape.

And the beauty is that it still continues to perform better than a 'modern'
os with plenty of fluff to bog it down... :-)
