My 2400/240 7.6.1 with a 56k modem is as fast surfing the internet as my iMac 400 9.1, boots in half the time, contains the very useful "clean up by name" and supports popup folder. Unless I'm playing MP3's, I prefer 7.6.1 for the word processing/household finances/email and internet. I'd love to see how it compares on a 400G3. Donald McCaig
