Hi Ronni Yes it is a very nice machine and it is so good to have some real hard drive space and Ram now!!
What a good idea to use System Profiler to check out the Applications! When I sorted by Kind, I can actually see how much classic and PowerPC software I still have on my machine. You are right, I should have done this before the migration, but I didnt know about it! Is it possible to delete any software from in system profiler somehow, as they are all displayed easily. I tried highlighting but cant just 'delete' it? Other than that I will have to go back and do them one by one which will take ages. I might need a few of the PowerPC apps so will have to install Rosetta. Will run nice and fast on this machine (quad core 2.2)?
