But why don't > you move the files out of Trash and boot into OS 9 and delete them? 2 reasons: 1. I am very happy working in the shell. (zsh) 2. I haven't booted into OS 9 in over a year now! It's not a question of pride or anything, I just can't work on OS 9 any more! A colleague who is a web designer needed my help with some Shockwave Flash Actionscript today, and so I went over to help him, I sat down at his G4 which was running OS 9 -- and I actually managed to look like a complete idiot as I worked BBEdit, Interarchy, IE and the Finder with the apparent expertise of a man who had just been introduced to a computer... by the way thanks for all the advice on the audio front flipper, I stayed up late tonight doing all kinds of tests in encoding and testing different formats against each other. I'll post my results here tomorrow. :) -- Tarik Bilgin Opalblue tarik at opalblue.com -- TARIK BILGIN, Web Developer tarik.bilgin at englandagency.com an agency called england marshall mill. marshall street. leeds LS11 9YJ t.0113 234 5600 f.0113 234 5601 http://www.englandagency.com/ This e-mail contains information that is confidential and may be Legally privileged.
