Hi Steve,
I will probably keep it [I still have a IIci!] and at some point investigate
video-capture, or other stuff for which to use it. Maybe keep it as a
backup machine. I will have a G4 laptop [which will dock to a 17 ColorSync
CRT monitor] and I also have a Dell for work.

Hi Denny,
Thanks for that suggestion -- I'll tell her. She does have it on a surge
protector, but I think what was happening is she was unplugging the surge
protector whenever there was bad weather in KS, or when she was leaving for
a trip. So it gradually got slower and slower to boot up.
Hi -- it has 56mb RAM a 2gb HD; and I have no idea what iCab is. We
tested her Quadra 840AV here against my G3, to evaluate whether it would
help any on a dial-up connection. We used the 56k modem, and dialed into
her Earthlink account [using a local number] from each Mac.

It takes longer to boot up from a plugged-in shut-down than a restart,

She needs something faster, as she is encountering such slow web-surfing as
to really frustrate her.
What browser is she using, and how much RAM does the 840AV have? I'm willing
to bet throwing a bunch of RAM in there and using iCab with the cache
