Wandering a bit off-topic, apologies. Yes, I know, there is a Google account with my name on it. There's a difference here, but to me it does show a bit of paranoia, in this age of stolen identities. "I" don't have a Google account because "I" never set it up. Someone else set it up using my name and email. It matters to me right now because our "beloved" University I work at has just moved all their email over to Google. What a mess, I'm the tech that deals with it at the desktop end. They set up an account for me with a non-intuitive username so everyone can get it wrong. And calendars? It was supposed to solve the calendar mess so everyone would work off the same page. Instead, everyone has two or three of their own calendars and then invites you to join theirs. So now there are hundreds I'm expected to wade through. Sheesh. /rant Apologies again for list off-topic Stephen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
