No, I was just using my other Tecra for checking email & hitting a few web pages, and the near-constant grinding of the HD while swapping was driving me nuts!

I'm still on the fence about buying the WLAN drivers to take my Solaris x86 laptop wireless... $100 is a lot for the driver. but it would be nice ;^)

Also, what is the magic to get the Solaris Contributed Freeware onto a CD-R? I am not familiar with the filetype for the freeware CD image, but I was able to cut the OE CD-Rs fine (supplied as .iso images)
