With exchange rates as they are, and given that getting QuickTime Pro is simply involves downloading a pass key, why does QuickTime Pro cost $US29.95 in the US and $AU59 in Australia? Michael Hawkins.

Removing OS 9

Now that it is more than a year since I used Classic for anything I've started to wonder if it is possible (and if so worth while) to remove the OS 9 component from my computer (I'm running OS 10.2.6). The hard-drive on my G3 PowerBook 400 is a mere 6gb. Thanks Michael Hawkins.

Security Update Issue

Apple released a security update yesterday (10 June) which I installed on my G3 PowerBook 400, OS 10.2.6. Secure was right - the computer wouldn't let me log-on. I'd key in my password (as you do) and press log-in (as you do), and the screen would shimmy. I tried repairing permissions by using
