OK, Panther seems to have some extreme issues with resolution and monitor 
support. It would seem that anything less than a Rage 128 or some similar powered 
machine cannot use quartz extreme. Does that mean that all of the lesser 
machines get nothing? I don't think that's true because I'm using it on my first 
generation iMac "bondi blue" and although I have the VooDoo FX 8 Meg chipset 
add on installed and a G4 upgrade card from NewerTech (G4 450, sweet). Anyway, I 
am sure that with some work my Wall St. PowerBook should be able to run 
Panther in one way or another. I can do without quartz extreme if it's going to be 
such a pain. Hell, the visuals in OS X leave me scratching my head sometimes 
anyway, I'd gladly trade the whole look and feel to have the responsiveness I 
had running System 7.1 or 7.6.1 in a heartbeat. And don't talk to me about 
stability, I had fantastic stability in 7.1 and mostly in 7.6.1
