Sorry for the > tone of this but you should wake up and smell the coffee. Hmmm... I downloaded the Photoshop 6.0 tryout onto a 9.22 G3 300MHz machine at my office, and the loading time isn't bad. It isn't instantaneous, but not bad. Playing around with the colors didn't seem too bad either (at least with a 1760x1168, 32 bit color digital photograph). Considering I can get a G3 at auction for less than $150, including a 17" ColorSync monitor, I can understand using one for graphics-- assuming one already has Photoshop or is satisfied with GraphicConverter (as I certainly am, for just manipulating my snapshots). I spent much more time considering the results of my actions than waiting for them to complete. -- Dana [EMAIL PROTECTED] I hear that OS X is gnarly, but I've never "used" it <g>. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
