You can download the OS 7.5.5 upgrade for free from Apple. Yes, you'll have to do that PITA floppy crap to get your upgrade done, but I had moved my 190 from 7.5.2 to 7.5.3 to 7.5.5. I don't know what you're using your 190 for, but maybe you don't really need to go past 7.5.5. I was able to word process, email, chat (IRC and AIM) and go on the web (iCAB) with mine on 7.5.5. I suppose if your uses are more complex than mine (games? music? video?) then maybe you do need the upgrade. But if your needs are similar to mine, you might be just as well off staying where you are and not taxing RAM or other resources to run a higher OS than you really need. Just a thought. :-) ~Yersinia. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
