I'd go with 6, but that's because I know *I* wouldn't have a problem making it work, but if you think you'll be more comfortable with 7, use that. There's a noticeable speed difference, but as you say, 7 *is* easier to network out-of-the-box, so to speak. Might even want to install both on the hard disk and see how you like 'em. Give 'em each a week or two and then make your choice. -- the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> Software Archive <ftp://download:[EMAIL PROTECTED]//Users/thepickl/Sites/Archive/> <http://www.members.jmug.org/%7Ethepickl/archive/> _________________________________________________________________ -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
