Here goes with my brief contribution... Not intended to anger anyone but just a point of view... (please note that I started typing below a brief quote from the original message) I have been a constant Mac user since my LCII days and have purchased many Macs since... I don't regard my self as lazy or of having low intelligence. I started using Macs (and still do) because they are a machine, for the most part, I can sit down with and just start working without having to read volumes of instructions. I love this about the Mac. I also find the Mac community to be a very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable group. Even I have been able to assist people over the years. My main point is that I have asked many questions of the group over the years that are, for the experts, perhaps seen as trivial and silly things they only see them from an experts point of view rather from someone who is a Mac user and not someone who spends his life reading up on Macs and finding out exactly how and why things work (or don't). I may have been able to source information from somewhere else... If I had the knowledge of where the somewhere else is and what exactly I was looking for. This would be easy for someone who already knows. Not all of us do.... If a question is asked of the group and we feel it is beneath us to respond, I guess the answer is don't respond and let others who are willing to help out do so or send a quote for doing the work for them if this is your business. We are not all members of the group because there are 'experts' out there, many of my answers have come from users similar to myself. It is reassuring however to know that experts with such vast knowledge are members of the group and are will to help the Mac community out.
