I use greyview to make startup screens. Some great greyview pictures out there. There are some great programs I couldn't live without, but they don't run specifically on the II. >2) Any screen blanker/saver better than PYRO!?

The jack on the back of the mac is a stero plug. That's cause the II supports STEREO!. Just get an stereo to mono converter. 4) Any backdrop INIT that works with a COLOR backdrop? I assume you mean a way to replace your desktop with something other than a control panel pattern. DeskPict worked before multifinder. Works under finder 6.0, I think, but NOT under multifinder. Definitely works under finder 5.5 (was that the previous number, there SOOO confusing). -------------------- Ken Wallich *My views are mine, and mine alone* Consultant "Slimey?
