Hi Tim Greg
I've just checked the disc on the Performa for missing files. No
problems there.
The disc has a couple of barely obvious scuffs on it, but I wouldn't
say that it is badly scratched. It's really clean.
Other Classic applications work okay on this computer.

Tried your tip. I checked and found that I had already set the sleep

The scuffs may indeed seem minor but they may be at a point on the disk that

Apple disk utility is fine because it has been programed to operate
with the permissions for 10.4
Just make sure that if you have also kept 10.3 (perhaps on a separate
partition in case you want to go back) that you do not use the disk
utility from that. You also want to avoid using disk
Maybe Daniel Kerr can order it in for you. Failing that you might be

Reg,
After you type in Perth, Australia or Perth, Western Australia
into the back of the widget, make sure you type enter, instead of
just clicking on the OK button straight away. It's say validating
or verifying or something. That seems to make the difference.

Hi Reg, it doesn't seem to offer the drop down list of 'Perths'
initially, you have to give it a few minutes - then Delete Perth from
the Field, then re-type. You're cooking with gas once you're

worked for me).
