This is one of the areas where you really need a PC, especially if you're using the computer to try and control a sewing machine. My Mom tried using her iBook for this, and it was a dismal failure (she's really good at finding stuff any given computer system can't handle). To make matters worse, in her case, it can't even handle running the Genealogy software she uses! One guess as to who is her tech support... Zane -- -- | Zane H.
