I don't run OS/X nor have I had the problem you described; therefore, I didn't respond. You surely can't expect people to take their time to investigate this for you. That is precisely what the support contracts are for. And since you clearly don't like that answer, you have the source. Dig in and figure it out. If you don't feel you are competent enough to do so, then find/hire a consultant or someone that is. >This approach is contrary to other lists I'm a part of, > Maybe you are asking questions to problems others have seen and dealt with on these other lists. >Anyone else offering the "buy a contract" response can save their >keystrokes, I'm now crystal clear on that solution. > Very good. I've provided you with two other options above. In addition to those: 1. Use a differnet platform which has a larger user base; thus increasing your chances of getting an answer. 2.
