Addendum:, BTW, I'm pretty sure that you could probably get by without the following:

Control PanelsAppearence
Apple Menu Options
General Controls
Macintosh Easy Open(***)
Memory (2)
Startup Disk(***)

ExtensionsApple CD/DVD Driver(***)
Foreign File Access(***)
SoundSprocketLib(***)
UDF Volume Access(***)

***

The reason that I have these "***"-ed, is because you really don't have to have these extensions, BUT if you have to use any sort of linux/windows, etc... type-files, (or a plain redbook audio CD for that matter) well, you'd be screwed if you didn't.

The sound sprocket library I leave in, just in case a band's out to lunch, no-shows, etc, etc...so that I can play some Diablo, Star Craft etc....

2- Now, the only reason that I have the Memory control panel on, is so that I can turn of the RAM Disk. Sugarite has a post in the LE archive about how to run PT's off of a RAM Disk, and even though it's a great idea, I've never tried it, however, one really neattrick I've learned, is using the RAM Disk as your browsers' cache folder for a couple of good reasons:
1-you don't waste disk space. I'm not a internet exploder fan, so I won't even go there [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] , but I know for a fact that Netscapes' Cache folder lies in your Preferences inside the System Folder. Think about that if you someday do a get info on the system drive, and you're absolutely certain that you have more space (albeit 1-16MB's worth).

2-screen redraws are lightning quick when hopping back and forth on a site (say like the digi compato docs)

Good Luck with your Trackball.
