You have provided way too little information for me to be able to help you with that. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

Because there are 9.2.2 things inaccessible to 10+. That's one of the things I bought the laptop for, though admittedly it was for more RAM. The "thick DVDs" have a casing that goes into the slot with them. They're very weird. They let me get a lot of data backed up and off the G4 when I was doing graphics over there.

I had to drive 50+ miles to that one 8-) It's closer to 100 miles to the nearest train station. People come here for lake vacations, not big city shopping 8-) -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.mosaictelecom.com/~erilarlo
