for your encouragement.

I am happy to report that yes, I finally disregarded that message  
(below) and installed everything, and everything seems to run as it  
should. Of course, *much* faster: I had a 400MHz PowerBook G3  
"Pismo", one of the *nicest* machines Apple has ever made. I will  
miss it.

Best,
