I pride myself in trying to not be too much a fan boy in any technology. I try to call a duck a duck and a spade a spade. I really like OSX and Mac hardware in particular. However, this last release while releasing some nice things like time machine and spaces is really just a point release. Even Microsoft doesn't charge $100 for a point release. If something deserves it, I will take a swing at it. :) -- Derek --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
