Thank you for that. Memory jogged... I last went there about five years
ago and all memories are securely wiped...

Not that then. Probably the byte fairy, that's my only other theory.

You can use Migration Assistant to move a PPC installation to a new
Intel Mac. There shouldn't be any problems.

I'm sure, but it's proved totally impossible here; in fact, compared to
setting up several previous Macs, this one has been a nightmare. Like
trying to get the Bluetooth keyboard to work on the iG5. Also
impossible.

Still, I can always use a Nimitz with an adapter, so it should be okay.
Just not the way I expected.

As I said; the one thing I *expected* to give me trouble- Eudora- just
worked. Superbly. As usual.

Hmmmm... Left a para out there...

On the new iMac, I will use the TactilePro, so I will use the Nimitz on
the iG5, which is a going to Geneva to work on dialup.

Shuffle shuffle down to Buffalo...
