You have a solid list of items that should do the
trick for them.

> Am I missing something? 

Some additional items for your systems could be:

1) JPEGview - a JPEG image viewer that has a couple of
extra options than Quictime Picture Viewer: it allows
you to do a slideshow of images, you can zoom in on a
part of  an image, and you can save your files in a
pict, and jjif formats (the registered version of
Quicktime does give you more format saving options).

2) iCab 68k - although some people critizise it, you
can give it the benefit of the doubt. I actually like
the bookmark toolbar myself (not available with other
68k browsers) and until Opera finally decides to port
their browser, it is the only browser currently in
development for 68k's. It's also small in size and ram
use.

3) Systems 8.1 and 7.1 - either system appears to run
a little better than 7.6. Afaik, 7.1 is upgradeable
enough (see faq for more on this) to be fast, ram
conservative, and compatible with most everything.
Less is more. 8.1 is more modern and also sports a
smaller ram footprint than 7.6. It was the precursor
to 8.5.x-9.2.x and although not as fast or ram
conservative as 7.1, is probably preferred to 7.6. All
you need is the actual system software.

4) One of my favorites ... Find Pro III, a very
powerful find utility; it sure beats the basic 7.5
find feature (it can trash, move, copy, files and
folders; it even find hidden items and searches inside
files for specific words or phrases, iirc).
Unfortunately, this one seems to have been wiped from
the face of the net, so do let me know if you come
accross it.

If you need more help with items 1-3, let me know,

Completely? Not that I'm aware of.
