I'm not sure how that rates among macs, but for PCs that's pretty low. It's unable to run Netscape 7.02 effectively due to lack of RAM (it's constantly swapping to the hard disk, and it's so slow as to be virtually unusable...though it does render pages correctly). I think it's probably going to need a little extra memory. Now I need to find out what kind of memory it takes, where it's located, and how to install more on an imac (I don't like the whole built in monitor deal...afraid of capacitors and shocks...but I've never been inside an imac so maybe my fears are unfounded). Cheers, Ari -- spammage trappage: replace fishies_ with yahoo I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. To jump to the end of the story, as a result of this I need a bone marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor: http://www.abmdr.org.au/ http://www.marrow.org/
