Thanks for your help. I became alarmed when my CPU fan started going full blast while simply browsing the FAQ. I'll give it another try, although I'll be surprised if I can hear any sound output above the fan noise. Universal Binary would be excellent. For now, maybe I'll drag out the old Performa to get the full retro Mac experience.
