I opened it, it found all the GMail settings and is working fine! The interface is certainly better! If I do not need Adobe Reader, then I can forget it, it was a real pain anyway. Guess that I will use Thunderbird for reading NNTP groups, even though it is pretty clunky. I do not even use slrn/tin on Linux, preferring Pan. Will Pan install on iMac? Another question: will my old Super Duper transfer over to the new iMac, or will I have to download and purchase a new copy? Also, if I use my LaCie 350gig backup hdd in the firewire port, will it synch with Time Machine, or will all the old PPC stuff conflict?
