Yeah, I had a car like that once, but I got rid of it. When I installed the operating system on a Mac last year it took about three minutes - including all the tools, browsers and wotnot that you could wish for - with no intervention from me at all. After the pain I've been through with some W1nd0ze installations it was very refreshing. So I guess what I'm saying is that there's a lot more to it than that, or Apple would be ruling the world. 73, Ged.
