I have been receiving this list for a good while and for the life of me can't get over some of the gripes I read about. 10.2.3 sucks??? I'm sorry, YOU have likely screwed something up and Windoze XP is certainly not immune nor a panacea. Some folks tweak and delete and sometimes do the wrong things with their Macs. To blame an amazing OS for your trials without eliminating the possibility that YOU screwed something up is a gigantic leap. My rant, flame away if you see fit. I just think we should ALL take more responsibility for our own actions/inactions before we blame an OS which is state-of-the-art, IMHO, for our troubles. JH
