I ran OS X.2.8 on two WallStreets for a number of years and then later upgraded to X.3.9 using XPostFacto. Panther (X.3) works a lot better than Jaguar (X.2). I've heard of people running Tiger on WSs with good results but never bothered to do it myself. These WSs had 320 Mb of RAM and 40Gb HDs. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
