This is what I was talking about--fine for reviewing and storing (pc card transfer is very speedy), and forget about real editing. I'd think making a rudimentary website could be done, but it'll be difficult working at 640x480. And that's right, I forgot that some 5300c's have 1mb Vram and hence 16-bit display. Wish mine did... In the event that you've still got the original hard drive, you might want to replace it--seems like anything over five years is a gift--not fun to have one die on a vacation. -- _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
