This and a previous post does raise a question though: why has this list become so much less friendly? I've been on these lists for a long time and have noted a change to the climate -- is it that as the community gets smaller, we get more testy and less willing to offer help? Is the assumption that we're all dedicated to working with legacy macs no longer enough? Do we have to pass a test to post here??? Since when do we assume that people are dumb? Pretty arrogant.... if you don't want to offer help, here's a suggestion, don't! Rick -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
