You guys must have different expectations that some of us. To get hardware to work in my Win boxes, I stick in the CD and hit 'Next' four times. Never mind the Mac. (And yes I know it's because the hw vendors do Bill's work for him and write all the drivers and install programs.) I'm very impressed that Myles was able to do what he did and so quickly. I'm not impressed that he *had* to. Could his father have done that? Or any other user?
