I should have added that another option is to set your email client to check your email every 5 minutes or so. Does Apple's Mail app allow you to set the time interval for checking email? I know Eudora does. That will keep your connection alive. HTH, Bob -- G-Books is sponsored by

Larry, The third generation iBooks were Indigo for 366mhz and Graphite for the 466mhz SE. But the Key lime was available in both speeds, 366 and 466SE. This info was on the little fold-up brochures provided by Apple (I have one somewhere, but can't find it) and is also reviewed in the Decem
