The OP realized that she posted her inquiry to the wrong list, has unsubscribed from the G3-5 List, and already reposted to the G4 Book List, thus can no longer read your responses here. Those who have further sage advice, beyond screw organization, may wish to pursue her new thread on the G4 Book List. Please be reminded that LEM operates four hardware lists on Macintosh laptops, PowerBooks, G Books, G4 Book, MacBook, all with numerous experienced members: <http://www.lowendmac.com/lists/index.shtml> Messages about laptop problems may well receive more appropriate answers on those lists.
