OK to go one step further. If the system currently loaded is "blended" that is seamless between components, what then is to stop me from partitioning the hard drive, one OS9 on one sector, OS X on the other sector, as had been suggested elsewhere including Pogues' Missing Manual OSX 2nd edition? My problem is the CD supplied combines both Operating systems. Bryce Lee -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
