Thanks, Mitch. Still thinking about SLKs but something came up that's
taking my time.
That does look like it might be a good buy. If I were closer I'd sure check
it out.

I would bet money on a bad head gasket between 4 and 5. Repeat your test a
few times, cold and hot just for comparison. If the numbers continue to
match between the two the gasket is likely at fault.

Not familiar with MagicDVD or whatever it is, but it sounds like there is some
compression or transcoding going on that is probably slowing things down. Add
to that an external USB drive and you have a formula for some sluggish

A G4 CPU is really quite capable, but not if the software

But . one of the reasons that our furnace has lasted as long as it
has without rusting is that the pilot light keeps the heat exchanger
warm and dry througout the summer. We also run a dehumidifier in the

Sportline was a factory option on 124s and 201s ( at least). Stiffer
suspension, quicker steering ratio, different interior with rear bucket

I would challenge this statement.
My natural gas consumption cost-wise was under $25/month in summer with an 80
gallon (yes, that's 80) water heater that had a pilot.
So that's both the gas for the pilot as well as what it took to heat the water.

Probably normal, thats a REALLY old computer. The big question is what the

are wanting on DVD its compressing the video and that is whats slowing your
