Thanks for telling me. I didn't know about that 'feature' but I don't
feel as stupid as I was.
I'll look into finding a retail version, but I'm not sure where I'll
get one, considering that I'm in a town where Mac users are
'second-class' citizens, and the Windoze geeks go blank when I talk
about how reliable my PowerBooks are compared to my XP desktop machine.
Thanks,
Caleb
