Congratulations David! You have just joined a small brotherhood of Mac users

 I'm sure this thing was meant to come with X 10.3; I'll have to
 pressure the supplier for a free upgrade.  I must have Expose`!
 
 Tomorrow I'll order Photoshop CS and a Gb of RAM to go with it.
 
 Cheers,

Hi all,

I've finally done it.
