Larry, thank you for your kind offer, I run a 512k link at home and have
already down'ed and burned the ISO's ready for my YDL installation
experience. Very eager to get it cranking...

I also require new PRAM for the powerbook, doesnt keep date/time, settings,
etc. painful... new battery (or two), more ram, and a new HDD, sheesh, add
all that up and it's probably a new ibook... :)
