That's good to know. I didn't want to do it without checking first. I wish other systems stored their powered-on hours. A few UNIX systems do this, but I don't believe my Sun workstations do. I know they have probably >100K hours on them. I like Techtool but for one thing: it rarely explains why a test failed. For example, on my fresh install of System 7.1.1 it said the system folder was corrupt. I don't see how it could have been since it was about 15 minutes old, but the worst part is that it simply says it's bad, and not why. Otherwise, it's pretty nify. Macenvy is a little faster for getting quick details, it's just not as much detailed information. I'd love to see it add the power-on hours and afew other details. Too bad so much Mac stuff is closed source. We could keep updating things if we had the sources. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
