	Also MAC OS(Pre-OSX OS that is, ver 8.9 I think) 8.5, 9.0 or 9.1 actually. I started with 7.1.

Well that was a combination of hardware & software and all 3 OSes would be operating at the same time and none were emulated either, plus I could operate a few 8 bit or a 16 bit ISA cards too. ____________ BSG Anthem My Facebook page

	I speak Double Dutch and Fluent Rubbish. I can speak a little "Gobbledygook" but am much better at talking "Buncombe" though.
