No worries, Dan - I wasn't referring specifically to MS/IE apps, but rather to the apps, or underlying application support, in the OS. I know that's still being worked on by Apple, and hopefully once it's out of beta, all of that will be a thing of the past. Harry -- Beauty, brains, availability, personality - pick any two.
