Any other ideas as to what the number might be? From Hogwasher help: "The Hogwasher icon in the Dock will show you when you have unread news and mail articles. The number of unread news messages are shown in a violet oval on the right side of the icon. The number of unread mail messages are shown in a blue oval on the left side of the icon." As for #1 I don't have a clue what could be going on. -- Rod "At Intel, quality is number 0.9999999998876875"
