Re: 10.2

Good to hear Gordon :-) ... I've done an archive install on my G4 466 - only issue was the MS intellimouse control panel which was fixed with a quick software reinstall. May be just in my head, but the archive install method feels like it resulted in a more responsive finder than my earlier '

Cool - thanks for the links Shay. It looks like iinet's $249 charge for the Dlink 300 ethernet modem is around $100 cheaper than some online stores, and around the price people are paying on ebay. Checking the archive again (thanks wamug), there seems to be some concern about the DLink router
