My applogies. I didn't realize I was stereotyping. My comments were truely intended to support this list in the same manner as you stated: > ...because we really enjoy our Duos/2400's, and we enjoy them so much that we > like to talk about them and help others enjoy them. We want to discuss what > MacOS versions run well on them, and what problems to worry about-... > ... but I do ask that we stay on topic ... I guess seeing one more message extolling the virtues of a PC over the Mac push me over the edge (I see them so often in other forums). As I had stated I just joined the Duo/2400 list and John Henry's message, being one of the first that I recieved, seemed out of place. I guess I missed something in prior messages that must have made it relavent to that thread. Again my appologies and I will be sure to research the topic at hand before I chime in having only heard half the message. -Mark -- Mark A.
