Dan knows I think 8.1 on an 040 is a waste of time. >MB total).

Some of the networking code might be a bit faster, but I've never seen any comparisons, and in my experience, I HIGHLY doubt the difference is noticeable. In other words, saying the version of OT shipping with 8.1 is a reason in itself to upgrade is simply wrong. Sure, it's better than the old MacTCP stuff, but so is *any* version of Open Transport. Most of the other "neat new features" can be added to earlier Mac OS versions, either with Apple SDKs from the FTP site, or with third-party control panels/extensions. In the cases of third-party additions, most of them are significantly *better* than the Apple-designed feature being replaced. the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> Software Archive <ftp://download:[EMAIL PROTECTED]//Users/thepickl/Sites/Archive/> _________________________________________________________________ -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
