I personally like things to be detailed to the nth degree...If it becomes patronizing or too much I can just skip to where it becomes interesting again...but it also allows for no mistakes if one covers everything. My posts probably reflect this mentality so if I get too simple I apologize to everyone now...by no means do I mean to speak down (or more aptly put at my own level) Lord knows I reap more (sorely needed) information from the community than the average person...I think we all need to learn a few new things now that the OS is Unix based but once we do... > Well, back to my reading for the weekend, Unix for Macintosh.
