The 12" Aluminum's speakers actually have midrange and something almost passing for bass, and sound far richer, at about the same vollume as those of the Pismo. I am comparing them side by side, and the Pismo's 2 speakers don't come close to the sound provided by the 12" Al's 3 (2 regular and

Dean, The nice thing about using the dock is that it's a one-click operation. In OS 9's Apple Menu, you clicked the apple, went down to whatever you were choosing and clicked again. (Or was it click the apple, drag to the intended item, and then release? Or was that OS 7? Oh, well.) Even in
