How do you like 9. Right now Im still using 8.6 on my g3.... what are the things you like best about it... As far as the starmax, i only have 2 GB of space , thinking maybe the 9 would not be the way to go (im going to give it to my mom who is computer challenged...im trying to simplify it as much as possible for her...she is deaf and her eyesite is not especially good so looking for making it simple...she has used pc for years and frankly im tired of trying to help her fix it across the country....and with my limited pc knowlege it makes it more difficult...thats how I came to be on this list...! ) -- StarMax is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> StarMax list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/starmax.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/starmax%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
