================================ Fun Notes ================================
1. The alternate/back-up OS on the main drive is 'Terok Nor', a Classic instance that I cannot properly configure without the original install disk (still looking...)
2. "Promenade" is the dumping ground for A/V media.
3. This is the 'sweet spot' OS for me and this machine in that *ALL* of my Classic **AND** all of my current Cocoa devices will recognize and connect to it on the network.

================================ Issues ===================================
1. The Studio Display has a bad capacitor and will not stay powered on - need to crack 'er open and check it out. Need to research any available tech/repair manuals and ensure I have the right tools before I even try...
2. the *ONE* app i would kill to run on this system is the latest version of Lego Digital Designer - the version that will run is too old for the pieces I want to model.
3. Not had much luck getting OS 9.2.2 native...
4. Need a good powered USB hub.
