| Hey John, I just started using MLCAD on my PB 1400 (G3 upgraded) boy is it pokey, but it works. It is a menu driven program so it is easy to figure out.

| Hi Jim, My PB is a 1400 with a G3 upgrade running at 216 MHz. The video of a PB 1400 is notoriously slow. So, using it on a G3 300 should work a lot better.
