I certainly would update if the new machines didn't give me insoluble eyestrain! :-) And believe me I have done the research and tried every tweak possible. That's the way my vision works unfortunately! It just likes old equipment :-) I have a mac mini just to house my itunes collection, synch with my ipod and back up my data to an external drive - but that's really all I do with it. Apart from that I own two beautiful cubes (which I bought second hand in 2005) but due to a somewhat itinerant lifestyle the tibook is my main computer now. Speaking of old reliable machines. I used to have a 7200 and that went for ever without a hitch. -- regards Clare ************************************************ Clare O'Farrell email: c.ofarrell at qut.edu.au website: http://www.michel-foucault.com ************************************************
