[P1] Panther on 366 iBook SE

[tinman]

A minor update to my original comments. I forgot to mention Expose, 
which works surprisingly well given the video limitations of the 
machine. Also, I started playing with the network options between my 
machines. Much easier than in Jag (which wasn't that hard to begin 
with). Definitely a bonus if you network any of your machines.

I do think that your extra RAM probably plays a bigger role in 
performance than the raw processor speed.
