Agreed. My primary platform is one that Mactracker doesn't cover, so I'm grateful that "redundant" information on Apple systems is available conveniently on the web, and would encourage the expansion of the information base in a broadly available format. It's not like server space is a fixed quantity. The more info, the merrier. If anything, redundancy isn't the problem with the web. It's the volatility in the availability of information that can be problematic, and that argues *for* redundancy. Tim -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
