Richard, I apologize if I offended you in any way. I just figured they did not respond because it was too specific for the general case G-Books. So I then posted the problem on the MaxOS X Hardware list and received a few ideas about how to trouble shoot the port (directly not on list). Then I discovered the ibook list and decided it was absolutely appropriate. So I posted it here. >Don't want to point any fingers but thought I would try to set the record >straight... > >I saw the following on another list... > >>Any help would be appreciated.
