We typically use the Macs for QA work on our desktop apps since we support that as well. We use the PCs far more than the macs. And I'm by no means a Mac expert. In fact, we've automated most of the testing with Java so we don't even actually have to touch the Macs now. ;-)

Your actual use of the interface is nil and therefore you cannot know whether you'd actually prefer it if you used it for long enough to actually know your way around it as opposed to using it for a few minutes here and there (which you might have done at one point). -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia <http://gallery.me.com/alangbaker/100008/DSCF0162/web.jpg>

Still have all but one. That was the stolen one, so I probably will have to give it to the FBI. BK |
