Sorry to hear about your personal experience Henry. You are not on a different planet, but your obviously working at a place with a prejudiced IT department. Anyone using 7100-era technology to evaluate the Mac platform is not reasonable or rational. Just like racial or religious prejudice, one cannot use logic, reason or even fact to sway opinions of those who are prejudiced against the Mac. The fact is that your personal experience doesn't match most of the world. Even the major stock analysts are saying Apple stock is a great buy and undervalued. I would suggest subscribing to Versiontracker's daily email of OSX software updates and releases. It has been really pleasant to watch this list grow exponentially over the last couple of years, and it may help to offset some of those negative vibes you are getting from your work environment. ;-) -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Mike Bigley Maineville, Ohio http://www.norbertrunning.com Please support an American Indian Elder & Medicine Man by visiting the above link. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
