What won't 7.1 run on that 7.0.1 would? 8.5 was the first PPC-only system, and it came so long after the discontinuation of the last 040s that it was actually hurting the performance (and thus perceived speed) of the newer Macs. Remember, 8.5 didn't ship until six months *after* the iMac was announced, and three months after it was introduced! OS X's lack of older Mac support has probably hurt more, but as someone who's tried it on a "supported" Mac, I really wonder who these masochists are who want to run it on a 7300... the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> Software Archive <ftp://download:[EMAIL PROTECTED]//Users/thepickl/Sites/Archive/> <http://www.members.jmug.org/%7Ethepickl/archive/> _________________________________________________________________ -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
