But I like some challenges and experiments...;-) I remember back in 2001 that many people said it would be practically impossible to install and use Mac OS 9.1 on a PowerMac 6100 I had at the time. Well, I've installed... And it worked. Slowly, but anyway, I could use iTunes, broadband internet and CD burning (and also a 1024x768 video resolution trough the AV card). I put the brave 6100 (upgraded with a Sonnet G3 processor that many times refused to work properly...) into retirement in 2006, between other things because there was no way to install Mac OS X on it. ;-P -- MaGioZal. <http://facebook.com/magiozal/> -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
