Yup--and the little tag on the back mentions the Zip drive, now that 
I have my near-see glasses on.  This one also has 1MB cache and some 
sort of AV card in it. 

I understand that low-profile 256MB SIMMs can be installed, but that 
they need to be a special type, not the usual PC133 type.  Is this 
true--and any guidelines to make sure that I'm picking up the right 
flavor?

I found a version of Mozilla 1.3.1 that runs on it at 
http://www.wamcom.org.  It seems to be adequate for casual browsing.

I've used fixed-frequency WS monitors on PCs since the first 19" 
Daisy that I obtained, around 1988.  It's only lately that I've begun 
using LCD monitors. I was concerned that there might be something 
REALLY funny about Mac video.   

(OT: Does anyone need the manual for the big Daisy monitor (the one 
made by Mitsubishi with a locking drawer in front)  that details 
where all of the adjustments are?  I have it and have no use for it).

I guess Linux is the next step.  Any favorite flavors?

Cheers,
Chuck
