[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1234936, member: 56379"] Ahh...a "Wallstreet" model...it's actually older than I thought. I have one of these as well. I think that I have OS 10.1 or 10.2 on it. I'm sorry to say I do next to nothing on it...it's just too darn old and slow!:( Yes...running OS 9.1...and applications that are "vintage" to it (1998)...yes it will seem pretty "zippy". But load OS 10.1 or 10.2 on it...and it will "bogg" down real fast. Not only because of the: - slow cpu - low amount of ram - slow & small hard drive ...but also because OS 10.1 & 10.2 really were not that "refined" as an OS (a bit clunky). OS 10.2 may also be the highest OS this computer can "officially" run in any case. If you were able to do what you need this laptop to do running OS 9.1...you would probably be ok...but trying to run OS 10 probably won't be much fun. - Nick p.s. Yes...you could probably say I'm a "foodie".;) [/QUOTE]
