>From the Quicken web site, requirements for TurboTax for Macintosh:
TurboTax for Mac
* Mac OS 7.6 or higher
* PowerPC processor
* 16 MB of RAM (32 MB of RAM recommended)
* 45 MB available hard-disk space
* 2X CD-ROM drive (4X recommended)
* 12-inch monitor or larger (minimum resolution of 640x480)
* Modem: 14400 bps or faster (28800 bps recommended) for online features,
product updates, and electronic filing
* Printer: Mac-compatible inkjet or dot matrix printer. Mac-compatible
laser printer with at least 1 MB of memory
So, the PowerPC processor rules out your 280c, sorry. If you're kind of new
to the Internet, America Online is easy for starters and lets you browse the
internet. However, access is not that great, usually slow speeds. But if
you're planning to use your 280c's internal modem, that shouldn't be too
much of a problem, since the modem's speed is limited to 14.4Kbs. However,
one concern is whether there is still a 68K version of the AOL software. Any
other 280c owner using AOL here?
