Hey Arnel, thanks for that info!!! I guess there is no way to do this on a 466
clamshell with 576mb??? Because Panther was way too slow on that machine for me
so I down graded it to Jaguar... I ended up buying a used G4 Titanium Powerbook
1000mhz with 1000mb and a 100g HD so I can keep up with all these new websites
and videos etc etc etc that have out dated my iBook... They tell me I can run
OSX 10.5 Lep on my new machine, do you think this would be wise because of it
not being an Intel based Mac??? I really miss my clamshell I put the guts of a
466 in my Indigo 366 and even did the DVD drive by taring off the indigo face
from the CD drive of the 366 and siliconed it on!!! That machine was a great
machine and served me well and still runs great!!!
