Having said that, Eric will no doubt chip in with his disagreements, but I know Terry Steeper likes 8.6. 9.... is quite a bit different from 8.6 7 requires a lot more memory. As to Stuffit I'm sure that I have older versions around; 5 & 5.5 ring a bell; but "msn" I wouldn't know, I always trash the Microsoft stuff on contact!
