Frenando - I'm a late-switching OS 9.2.2 user, my old Mac I don't think has
the horsepower to run OS-X so I'm not even close to using anything that new.
By the time I can afford a G5 they will be selling G7's.

There is a shareware or freeware program that will 'trash' the otherwise
non-disposing folder... I can't remember the name of it but I know there is
one. Try a Google search and see if that will turn it up...
