Why do you say that? I use my Blueberry 333 with only 192 RAM and a 20 gig HD for audio restoration projects on a daily basis. It's not as unbearably slow as you make it sound. True, it can be sluggish when opening a particular program (Spark XL) or an extremely large file, but for most things, it's just fine speed-wise. It's even faster when I need to mix audio files under OS 9 (I still use SoundEdit16 - so far there's nothing comparable in OS X). RAM and HD speeds on these older machines is just fine for most home audio projects - most of us are not "pros" with "pro" budgets, and even older iMacs have sufficient capability for home audio. I *was* doing all this on my PowerMac 7600 just a year ago - now *that* was slow... Gerry -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
