Hi Ronni, Thanks, that's just what I needed. I'd forgotten all about the Applications bit of system profiler.
It looks like, for me, the only PPC only apps that I use a lot are the Canoscan Toolbox scanner software and MS Office 2004. Canoscan would not be that big a problem - I'd probably use it as an excuse to buy a new scanner :) Unfortunately Office 2004 is a must-have for me at present, I have lots of Excel spreadsheets with macros so can't upgrade to Office 2008. Hopefully, Snow Leopard will keep it's Rosetta support. Cheers Neil Neil R.
