well, I haven't tried the new X browsers... perhaps that's one of my big
problems. I actually forgot about them. And I'm still running OS 10.1.5..
figured if I don't like 10.1.5 what's the point in paying $200 for
jaguar?
Maybe I need to try out a faster mac, and see how I feel about it. Still,
800 versus 29... but you have a point on software... and I still love my
imagewriter II.. oh and the Quiktake 200, but I think the quicktake can
do windows... with an older flash reader. And the emate... it can do
windows too... somehow... i think...

so my 550 PC is roughly a 375mhz G3... hmmmm... I don't find a 600ibook
any faster than the 550 PC.
decisions...
