Here's one reason (of many) I would recommend going beyond 7.5.1. >From Open Transport Release Notes: "Open Transport/PPP (which I use on an LCIII, a Quad 605 and Centris 610) CANNOT be used with systems 7.5, 7.5.1 or 7.5.2." ___ that's a quote. Open Transport recommends 7.5.3 or higher. I use 7.5.3 on the LCIII and 7.6.1 on the Quads. However, OT can be used with 7.1, 7.1.1 and 7.1.2. That in itself is kind of an indicator of significance between updates and that like Psnoss wrote, higher may not necessarily be faster or otherwise more advantageous to you. More HD space the higher you go as well. The simplest solid move for you right now IMHO would be to pick up what Apple calls "7.5 Update 2". It will take you to 7.5.3 giving you an extension manager and many other more-than-frills improvements. Terry -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
