Well, it all depends. My Pismo with 1GB of RAM does not do all the things I want to do when working at a computer, but it does do all the basic things I NEED: use MS Office or NeoOffice for work, check my email, and browse the Web. Plus, it plays music, Internet radio, and DVD movies. It lags a little, but not to the point that it gets irritating. On the other hand, my 300Mhz Wallstreet does all those things, too, and efficiently, but it's really too slow for real work, unless you just want to use it as a word processor --in which case it's perfect. Very few distractions, and the best keyboard EVER. F -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
