Panther should work on the Lombard. Unless all the applications you're using are only available for the old Mac OS, I don't see any reason to stay with the old Mac OS. It hasn't been updated since a couple of years and there are less and less applications that are updated for it. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] finger-pointing syndrome n.: All-too-frequent result of bugs, esp. in new or experimental configurations.
