@ Magnetic, oh. would IE not run well on it?
thanks for the tip! Maybe i'll give it another go later. I've been slowly building my own 'classic wb' from scratch over the last 12 months - lots of hard work researching, downloading trying stuff out and configuring/breaking everything and I'd hate to abandon it at this point:)
@OP, if you go for the older version, you can make 3.0/3.1 look far more modern/cooler with scalos,though i'm sure it must bring a bit of a performance hit. I think i messed up the install (don't ask) and ditched it fairly quickly - just didn't work right, really looked nice though.
tbh I like the newer styles but think the older look works better on an old CRT tv, which is what i'm using but these things all come down to personal taste of course.
