Marten: open your freaking eyes already. System 6 doesn't run on any Macs made after about 1991. >Mmmmm... I take it you are not the one paying the electricity bill in >your household. Otherwise you might think a bit different about it... Mark, he has a point here. The IIci sucks electricity like nobody's business. What I still don't get is where the heck the need for IP addressing on an internal, not-connected-to-the-Internet, LAN is coming from. If you need to do file sharing in the absence of the iBook, you can - just not over TCP/IP. But file sharing over TCP/IP is outrageously slow (especially compared to just AppleTalk over Ethernet) anyway, so there's *no advantage* to it. Any other use that's been mentioned so far in this thread would require an Internet connection, thus necessitating the placement of the iBook *back* into the network. So where the heck is the problem? the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> Software Archive <ftp://download:[EMAIL PROTECTED]//Users/thepickl/Sites/Archive/> _________________________________________________________________ -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
