The idea under consideration here is your assertion that know one can know more about what you need because they cannot read your mind and there are clearly lots of instances where humans are not the best judge of what it is they need. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia <http://gallery.me.com/alangbaker/100008/DSCF0162/web.jpg>

I play around on a friends G-something from time to time. It's ok for web stuff. In the business apps world, its a PC world, we don't have a lot of demand to support Macs except for our web/desktop based apps. You like ur macs, fine. I like my Pcs. Are Macs better at some things, sure. And PCs are better at some things.
