Thanks! I'll see what it currently has installed once
I get the other machines out of the way.
Any suggestions for the G3?
I believe a beige G3 needs mac OS 8.1 or greater, check the information on
www.lownedmac.com for specs. if you like the 840av join the
www.68kmla.net
forum, there are plenty of people there that use 68K and PPC apps (I am
Unknown__K on the forum).
My interests are in 68K Macs mostly, I have a couple PCI PPC Macs for
utility work.
