Bah, you'll see, once you get hold of OS X, you won't want to go back. I've been using a Macintosh since 1985 (Mac 128KB with an internal 400KB floppy at that time, with an ImageWriter I that I paid $2500 used), and since I went to OS X, I never want to go back to 9. There are way too many things that you come to appreciate in X that are non-existent in 9... -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] card walloper n.: An EDP programmer who grinds out batch programs that do stupid things like print people's paychecks.
