I see, yes, my friend is using a 9600 I believe, but he got a G4 upgrade. > >Do you know *anyone* using a 486 running Windoze 3.1 as their main machine >still? No, most of them got CPU upgrades and run Windows 2000 or bought a new motherboard for about $200-$300. Actually a lot of my friends simply took their towers down to the local store and the guys there stuck in new motherboards or CPUs at really low cost. I did it once myself, pretty easy. I like my Mac, but I know I am getting a slower machine that has very low resale value and I am pretty peeved at Apple for their terrible SCSI support and sound support on my Wallstreet. And I still think the TiBook is a very weakly made machine with hard corners that hurt your wrists and require you to take off your watch!!!! :-) Aron -- ____________________________________________________________________ Aron Nelson - [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Keyboards, Computers, Pianist, Guitar My Stompbox Page: http://surf.to/stompbox, http://firebottle.net/stompbox ____________________________________________________________________ -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
