I tried 2.5.something on the 7500, and hated the gubbins that came with it.
It worked okay, but not apparently any better than 1.0.5, and it was far
more complicated.

I have a copy of 2.6.2 (I think) on the MacFormat CDROM and I was thinking
of trying it, but as 1.0.5 is working perfectly I am crushed by laziness
every time I consider installing anything else.
