Okay, I'm just about ready to rock and roll with this now. Also, thanks for answering my question about why AppleWorks has to have QuickTime....(even though I use it for text only). <The QuickTime installers are available individually for downloading from Apple. Just search a bit.> Already picked one up this afternoon (4.1.2 free download). <I really like QuickTime 5.0.3. I don't recall if it will run on 8.6, but if it does, go for it. Much faster than QuickTime 4.> Doesn't matter, I don't do video stuff on the computer: my sole interest in QuickTime is so AW6 will run. <Sure. You've got them AppleTalk'd? Just copy it over.> I'll have them AppleTalk'd shortly. :-) Gotta set up that ole printer port network. <I don't think AFP will let you copy already open files, such as the System and Finder. If that's the case, make copies by option-dragging them to the desktop first, then push them to the other Mac.> Thanks for the instructions -- but what is AFP? I probably know the term, but the acronym isn't ringing any bells at the moment. And what does the option-drag operation do exactly to truly copy the System Folder (as compared to just copying it over the AppleTalk network to my G3's hard drive? (I just did the option drag, but it's be nice to know why.) <Don't dump AppleWorks 5. It's much faster than 6. It also comes with different fonts and clip art libraries, and more translators. IOW, keep both versions around if you can.> This is a totally new one on me!! Isn't it usually the common practice to add features rather than subtract them when upgrading a software program? ~Yersinia. ________ "If you keep an open mind, people will throw a lot of garbage in it!" -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
