Even though it doesn't feel slow at all. Or have you ever *seen* 7.5 on an older Mac? : The MacOS has a poor performance, much of the processor power is eaten up. That's interesing. Wrong, but interesting. True, some things (like disk access) aren't as fast as they could be, but if you had bothered to check up on things, you'd find that overall, MacOS only "eats up" 3% of the CPU time on a Mac. But thanks for reminding us of those same old myths about MacOS... -- Chad Irby / My greatest fear: that future generations will, cirby@gate.net / for some reason, refer to me as an "optimist."
