I got my A/W 5 from a Mac OS 8.6 install CD. I dont have an install CD. Am in process of finding out whether my friend lost the thing or simply forgot to pass it on to me.

I like AppleWorks better and it is quicker and not as bloated. > I can also tell you how to join the AppleWorks email list. :-} No, something less bloated is fine, m'dear. If I need something full-featured, I'll use Open Office Write on my Linux PC (this one - havent got the Mac hitched up to the internet yet). I also have an aversion to using MS software due to their extremely poor track record when it comes to security. Yes, please do pass on the Appleworks contact details, I'd like to join. > > Browser. . .

The Mac is going to be used for two main things - firstly, to give me some experience of another non-Windows environment (I also hope to create a small Lan soon with one or two Windows boxes, one Linux box snf the Mac on it), in order to help me learn stuff useful for getting me back into IT work, and secondly to provide a computer mostly for entertainment in the guest room. It'll also provide a useful backup to my Linux box for email use, should my Linux box fail (I;d really rather not connect anything running Windows to the Internet unless I really HAVE to! The Windows box, incidentally, is primarily a games machine. Windows isnt worth bothering with for serious work, IMHO). > > >Pointers as to what kinds of video these things can manage would also be > >appreciated.
