[iBook] Old and New accounts on my Clamshell

[Michael Flournoy]

If you boot the computer from the OS install disk I believe you can 
change these things from there. If you are going to install Panther 
anyway then just do a full erase and install, that is the better way 
anyhow. I have a 366 clamshell running Panther and with 320mb of Ram it 
worked very nicely. I "loaned" my 256mb chip to my sons new Pismo and 
now with 192mb it is still usable but not nearly as nice. Max the ram. 
Also, although I never use classic apps, when I installed Panther I set 
up a small partition for OS9. That way if OSX has problems I can still 
boot the computer up and access my files.
