I concur with Jeremy: a PowerBook G3 "FireWire" at 500 MHz would be your best bet. You can put up to 1 GB of RAM in it and there are compatible CDRW that you can refurbished in replacement of the standard DVD-ROM drive. -Laurent. -- ===================================================================== Laurent Daudelin <http://home.cox.rr.com/nemesys> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] creationism n.: The (false) belief that large, innovative software designs can be completely specified in advance and then painlessly magicked out of the void by the normal efforts of a team of normally talented programmers. In fact, experience has shown repeatedly that good designs arise only from evolutionary, exploratory interaction between one (or at most a small handful of) exceptionally able designer(s) and an active user population -- and that the first try at a big new idea is always wrong. Unfortunately, because these truths don't fit the planning models beloved of management, they are generally ignored. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
