Thanks yes maybe is a matter of getting use to the control strip being open (on
the way sometimes) but it's ok, you gave me a few ideas that's for sure, can
you tell me where to find those G3 upgrades? Last time I checked on MacResQ
they were $99 about 2 months ago.
BTW I also upgraded my "Macintosh Display" 13 inch to an Apple Multiple Scan 15
(yeah! it fits in my crammed room!!)
yeah that's the main reason why I had not upgraded, my space is pretty
constricted but I didn't know the multiple scan was so tiny and comfortable
(well can't compare it to a flat screen but so I can't compare their price to
my budget)
anyway, the speakers are nice but a nuisance sometimes, they don't have volume
control, any suggestions other than the Mac control panel? They are connected
to the sound output NOT the earphone jack
thanks again for helping me!
