Thank you, thank you. All's well. I just installed
the imac OS 9.2.2. I don't like imacs, hey but this
one is a g4/700MHz. Good enough for my classroom. I
just made an executive decision - this is now the
teacher's computer. My old beige g3/266 goes to the
students. Before somebody complains my students
already have a bluberry imac, two gateways running
windows XP, two power mac 7600, one power mac 5400/200
and two B & W g3's that I trying to put together (they
both need more memory and hard drives but the district
is still kind of stingy with money).
Pete.
