Well, that, I imagined, would be the "final answer" -- that I'd need to acutally purchase OS 8.5. Having hung out at 7.x.x for so long on that machine I was not up on what "everyone else had to do" in order to upgrade their OS past 8.0/8.1 (which we did buy/upgrade to). I've never been part of the "in" crowd, anyway.
I appreciate all the help even though the correct answer is more frustrating... I will have to wait to purchase 8.5 because I'm such a broke college student. Thanks for the purchasing links that were sent OL, however; I appreciated that very much and will look into them. ("Mom? Dad? Can I have some money for a new OS?") ;-) Aly 1400cs slowly making its way into the 21st century... -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
