I have just such a machine - although with more RAM - 56MB total.
Yours should run fairly reasonably though

Take the offer of the card - I had to pay for mine :-( Very easy to
fit and it makes a whole world of difference

I run 8.6. ClarisWorks 5 for WP etc. and iCab/Netscape (4 something?)
for email and web stuff (pretty slow, and some sites are only geared
for newer machines so I give them a miss), I have eMailer 2 and would
love to run that but have had no luck so far. Saying that, Netscape
covers eMail, Newsgroups and Web - but eMailer is nicer!!

Two things that I've added from the advice and help of this list are a
wireless card and a compact flash adapter with 128MB to act as VM

As a WP machine the 1400 is lovely. The keyboard is superior to the
Pismo I'm using. The only drawback is I can't easily get photos from
my camera to the 1400. It'll run Photoshop 3 and Graphic Converter.
With HomePage I can build web pages. With the CD drive I can even plug
in speakers and play CD's. OK it's not iTunes but very acceptable

I don't think you'll get 9.2.2 on it - I can't load it on mine and 8.6
runs OK. Add a few shareware/freeware enhancements and it's a great
machine. I'll not stop using mine for a few years yet!!

Good luck and come back here if you need more help - you're in good hands ;-)

Ian

PS. You may have realised that 1400 owners are a pretty fanatical lot!!
