Thanks for the info Paul. I'm still at 10.3.8 - I usually wait a month or two. The Powerlist reports an issue whereby one user couldn't boot up into Classic after the upgrade. Others have not had a problem. Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
