Graeme, If you thought it looked cool in a picture wait until you see it in real life. It is an absolute sweety. Thanks for the feedback about e-bay.

Oops I forgot to log onto the network time server this morning! Yeah, it's a real pain and every time I check on the Apple website it still lists the solution as setting the date every time I boot - which I think is a bit of a joke after paying over a grand for a computer that I have to tell the date and time to every morning. > As to the PowerBook 520 - it'll take MacOS 8.1 if you've got that or > 7.5x if > not. If your drive's 'toast', I have a small collection of 2.5" SCSI > drives. I was thinking of installing 7.1 on it since that's the only version of the Mac OS that I have on floppy disk. I have 7.6 on a IIci that I had thought about copying over but it has all the PowerBook stuff removed from it to save memory space so probably wouldn't work. I have been a bit worried that perhaps the drive was actually destroyed - think it'll arrive tomorrow so should find out then and if it is I'll be in touch! I'm going to try and kit it out with an internal modem so I can get e-mail on the go with it unless it has a PC card slot which I've heard mixed reports about. Always thought the 500 series looked cool but never viewed one beyond pics on a website! Completely off the topic of the Powerbook, can anybody recommend any good value web hosting companies?
