Dear John, >As far as the OS, I have used 8, 8.1, 8.5, 8.5.1 and 8.6. In my experience, >8 was good but had some problems. 8.1 is what I am using now, because it's >light on RAM, fast and response. 8.5 and so on, although fun to use, felt >sluggish on my 2400c- I am hoping OS9 remedied that! I found that once the hardware kinks were ironed out, 8.5 and 8.6 are brilliant, not only fun to use, as you say, but faster, more responsive, MUCH more stable and - really - a tad better on the battery and the whole machine runs cooler. 8.6 is easily the next best thing since draught Guinness in a can - and that's saying something. Perhaps you are a bit low on RAM - I have 80 on my 2400c/240. Yours sincerely, John Davis ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
