Trust me, I've tried. It's been a 'pick your poison' type of thing - would I rather e.mail unencrypted sensitive business information [because they don't do encryption and i refuse to accept things that are easily hackable like password-protected zip files, PDFs, etc], or FAX the info. And finding an entire industry [or four] that is like this means going to a competitor doesn't help - nobody has decided to use technology in a way that benefits their customers; their websites remain late '90s looking, yet their sales continue to increase, so why bother adapting change/improvements, since things are working for them as is. Honestly, it is hard to argue with that, business-wise, but customer-satisfaction wise, I complain every chance I get. I would like to know if there are any modems that are supported in Lion [eg: 3rd party that includes Lion drivers]. There are situations when dial up is needed and my VMware Fusion 4.1 solution can't live on forever [my laptop runs 10.7, but i have 10.6 installed via the "whoops" version of Fusion that accidentally allowed non-server editions of Mac OS X to be installed; i also run CS5 on there and other apps, since 10.7 and CS5 don't get along well; i'm not the usual user though - most of my time is spent in front of a desktop system, not a laptop, and my desktop[s] remain on 10.6 [with fusion 4.1 running 10.7 and 10.8, as i also develop iOS/Mac OS X software]]. /vjl/ _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
