I suppose there are ways to achieve this, but the main reason for slowness probably is that you have too little RAM (I say 512 MB is minimum). The iBooks also have a "AGP ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 graphics card with 32 MB of DDR video memory" while the current Powerbooks have "ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 (AGP 4X) graphics processor with 64 MB of DDR". While lack of RAM is the most obvious slowdowner in my experience, I haven't experienced any older iBooks as "fast". Others may disagree, but this is my opinion from sporadic encounters. >is there prefs and whatnot like Classic had The Prefs folder are inside "/Users/your_user_name/Library" and the application support folder are also there. Some systemwide prefs go into "Library/Preferences". Normally, you only have to worry about stuff inside your users Library folder. I suggest you get a Panther related introduction book like Pogues "The Missing Manual" (Or is that Jaguar only?). It will take a while, but most things will make a lot of sense. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
