Well the WS can't handle above Jaguar and after using Panther on all my work computers for a while I wouldn't go back given the option. I still keep my trusty 3400 with 9.1 but on my computers that can run X.... I use Panther. I'm no psychic but I'd wager that once Tiger comes out and *if* it has time/money saving features for people who make a living on their computers rather than those that use them for only general browsing/e-mail use all non-built-in Firewire Macs will bottom out, dropping the value of the ones below the built in USB computers even more. ::chuckles:: which of course is when I'll pick up a couple more 3400's for the kids homework, put a wireless network in at the house and continue to use iCab on them. Though I hope the iCab people get the CSS thingie fixed so that I can delete and reply to messages on my 3400. I played around with the settings and got yahoo mail to work but its not pretty and I can't do much more than read my mail with it at the moment.
