It's not a matter of money -- her husband commutes to Los Alamos by plane. I think it's a matter of the husband. As it happened she came to my house last night, I didn't go to hers, and all she knows is that it's a Mac classic. A hardware upgrade is not in the picture. I'm still trying to get OS de

nope, was rather boggled that she was really right about what was happening and hadn't slept for a couple of days when I was over there. I can take a look for that the next time I go back.
