Thanks Chris,
Perhaps the danger is not as bas as I make it out to be, but, and I
know you probably
did not know this, I am jobless right now.. If I do break anything I
can't afford to
replace it. That and the fact that the machine seems to run really
well on OS 6
and I have found many fun things on the net that also run on OS6.
I'll try installing the OS7 I'll be getting soon - but perhaps it won't
work, so
back to OS 6. no problem.
