Hehehe, well with the advent of OS X mac users can't take too many shots at wintel for being so bloated... Not that os x is really bloated, but it has a LOT of stuff going on in the background compared to 9... I'm trying to console myself on my new laptop purchase in knowing it's not the fastest compared to a lot of the wintel world for the price, but it *is* one inch thick so compared to laptops in that category it is pretty darn nice. Btw, does anyone know why apple removed the 1meg cache with the new chips in the powerbook? It really, really adversely affected the speed of the 733mhz desktop when they took it out. :( -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
