Hail Doc,
I don't mind the old risc chips actually: I learned their assembly years ago. Good fun :D I'll stick with my PC though: price is my primary concern here. On the other hand, I am looking to invest in an old (and I mean OLD) laptop: if I were to find a Mac before a compatable, I'd not hessitate. They are nice systems: I've just not used one in a decade. Well, not entirely true: I've sort of looked around on one recently...they have colour displays these days! Of cause, the trouble there is I'm so out of it as far as Mac technology, I'd not know what to look for anymore. However, I guess that *is* part of the fun of doing up a bad old system - the rest of the fun is taunting people who have expensive new systems that don't do anything more than yours does (not including aesthetics) :P
Oh, and by the way: you may want to keep a close eye on that mp3. I hear those things can get progressively worse over time...and if you are responsible for all the children in your state attenting black masses, it would be your own fault when you find yourself on their altar! Dangerous on my PC? I think I have Netscape installed :blink:
Virus scares? Has anyone else got the Irish Virus recently? Nasty stuff!

May the wind pick up your heels and your sword strike true.
