Robert,

If you are using Photoshop in Classic assign no more than 299 
Megs - or it will crash or slow down a lot. One way to make life 
easier is have two copies of Photoshop - one for launching in OS 
9  with as much memory as you would like and another with 299 
megs of memory assigned to it for Classic.

Wish Classic supported SCSI/Twain as my Howtek can only run 
in OS 9. Wish Vuescan supported Howtek - that's not a joke 
either :-0

Have not heard much about plug-ins - I think Silverfast is coming 
up to speed.

Best,

John V.
