Unless this suggests something else I think I am going to do a clean install of 10.5 zap the pram etc. and see how things work from there. The machine is runnning 10.4 now.

The apple guys were really not all that useful, they just guessed at something.

When I was last a camputer genius myself I was running an observatory in southern Arizona on PDP-11/34s running RSX-11, now I mostly do this by the seat of my pants.

Thanks for the help.
