Dear cheery, gianfranco, I am in high level talks with my banker, my husband the DELL user, regarding the funds to do the upgrade Michael J. Amato suggested at Daystar...sending it to a tech tho more (pricey for me) ...might be less. Then the techs there can make the daughterboard et al sit down or seat well. I just don't want to get too far down the tech road and find I have left my vintage graphics programs behind. I really liked the OS 8.6 days when I was working (sort of) ..but my digital camera doesn't...so I was finally forced to upgrade to a mere 9.2.2 here in the rustic backfields of Indiana...and the G-Books list is my only line to technology...unless i go into Chicago and I haven't a clue where that would be... On the other hand my AGFA Studio Star scanner, has become con fused and won't rest after trying to calibrate, I guess it has become well...insane. So I am looking to replace that old friend with either: Epson 2580Photo Flatbed Scanner with auto film loader or Canon CanoScan LiDE 500F Color Image Scanner I am well aware of the delicate symbiotic relationships of extensions...and I am thinking what > (third party stuff) and lousy freeware randomly installed. have I installed. its not much, as I just replaced the hard drive and loaded just the necessary internet progams, Netscape 7.04 and IE 5.0, Photoshop 4.0, Word 6, Quark 4, my Canon i6000 printer and the Olympus camera...ok BarFly a ABC music notation reader/decoder...but we need that, we play fiddles here on the back porch. ³In order to seek one¹s own direction, one must simplify the mechanics of ordinary, everyday life.² -Plato preach it Plato! > I would suggest (if you pass ...you just back up your data and re-install the > OS afresh, ack! and this was summer! > Lombard with OS 9.2 is a great machine, so they say Thanks for your advice trying to be cheery Kristina -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
