Thanks Clay....the problem being the screen goes black and I can't get the menu to fiddle around with, no matter what button or series of buttons I push on the monitor [the monitor is 2nd hand as well from a pc setup]...another helpful soul suggested I borrow a G4 friendly monitor and set it [the mac] up that way as it needs to be set in the mac's controls right?...anyhow that's my current quest to borrow a monitor..and a mac geek if I can so I can grill her/him for info and I do have a list, heh heh heh...I seem to need visual hands on types of learning experiences from past experience on the old A2000 and my first P90, so I'm aiming at that, thanks again mate.. ...

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again
