As you may see from a related thread, after Steve Firth recommended this, I
went on a two day slog using SoftWin to transfer two programmes from CD to
hard disk.  So I am interested too.  But Apple supplier says 166MHz no
longer produced and supported.  Orange do a 266MHz which he thinks is more
expensive than a PC.  So how are you finding the �200 ish one that Steve
mentioned?
