No problem, I'm on the PowerMac list as well to cover my PPC unit, as well as the Max and UK ones. No rush in upgrading, I've not mastered the Mac OS I have yet! > There also isn't a 68K version of Opera, but it's such a marginal browser on > the Mac platform, I wonder why anyone would bother using it anyway. iCab is > far superior, and it doesn't *cost* anything. iCab, that rings a bell, but not relating to Macs for some reason - I really must get one on my desk permanently. ** end quote [the pickle] Interestingly enough, I've now tracked down the manual for my monitor - just needed to search on "Apple Mulitple Scan 15" instead of "Apple Multiscan 15", it makes all the difference! I haven't got it working with my LC475 for some reason - may be the way I have my converters set, I'll have to check tomorrow. Now I've tested the screens properly I'm wondering why I bothered - one has some burn in (although not really noticable if you have a patterned background) and the other seems to go a bit yellow towards the right side (although otherwise it's pretty crisp). I may have to ditch them and use a VGA screen instead - not that that's a major issue, I need the space! -- Paul Tansom: - contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more information Internet and Intranet Solutions -- http://www.aptanet.com/ -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
