"Anyone had or heard of trouble with the 166 
and the G3?"

The majority of people have no difficulties. Around 10%, however, (including me), will 
get strange finder behavior, error 1 and 2 messages, "files not found", freezes with 
audio or video, etc. etc. The answer, according to Sonnet: use 8.5.1 or 9.1, which for 
some reason do not produce the problems. Also, VirtualPC 4 is incompatible. I don't 
know what other surprises Sonnet has in store. I am still quite irritated that there 
was no word whatsoever about these problems on their website. QuickTime still gives me 
troubles unless I deinstall and reinstall it about every two days.

I like the speed, and if all you want to do is do the old things really fast and don't 
have ambitions of turning your 1400 into the latest and best, then it is a worthy 
investment. I personally wish I had saved my money for a new iBook, but the wisdom of 
hindsight...
