stick os8 on as a double boot using syspicker and you can give us a fresh look at a comparison?

I have 7.6 and 8.1 on my 540c and with 12mb ram 8.1 is usable with 8.1 - 7.6 is obviously way better speed wise, but it does cope with 8.1.

a pb1400 should do very well with 8.5 and 64mb ram I remember.

of course, stick your easy to come by and cheap G3 upgrade in there and we can argue if 8.6 or 9 is better!
