Didn't have to use XpostFacto either for some reason. Just updated a driver or two and switched from the Apple IDE CD drive to an LG IDE drive. 640 megs of ram and it is kinda pokey but not ridiculous. Safari is quick, Explorer is slow, nothing new there. The reason I upgraded was simply to get some software off the 'net that worked on a Mac. Most of the new stuff is only for OS X , hence the upgrade. Got Firefox for gmail, now it's all good. BM -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
