Cool, Simon. The PCI list is slow now I think most have drifted here. It is nice that some folks have money to throw at problems but some of us must use what we can afford. Hence from the wisdom of the list Mother we have Low End Mac. Let those who can afford it enjoy their purchases with blessings. Let them also be aware of how blessed they are! And not rub the noses of the rest of us in our financial difficulties. As if that was the mark of one's worth on the planet. Old tools are still tools.capable of doing much even though superseded by the new. As my brother would say were he still alive " It works better than the one you don't have!". Two uears ago I had a lengthy video production gig with a multi billion dollar multinational corporation with 600 plants world wide. They gave me an obsolete Dell with a 1.5 Mhz CPU and an amateur grade edit program. I did the Photoshop work and some other tasks at home on my 7X00 hybrid with OS 9! Cheap so and sos! But the Mac work made the production better. More professional. As a journeyman I do what it takes to get the job done. And will utilize whatever tools are at my disposal. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
