I am complaining. Gary and Chuck, great discussions. I would be enjoying them, except you guys aren't editing your quoted text. The latest message from Gary that I've seen on Digest has two copies of the list footer quoted. This is ridiculous. Please, please cut your quoted text. You guys are clearly enthusiastic about the topic so it's wonderful to have you here. But it's very inconsiderate to just hit "reply", rip off a message at the top of the screen, and not delete the vast amount of irrelevant text from your message. Try scrolling down to the bottom of your message and start typing there. It will become apparent how much crap you are forcing the rest of us to scroll through to get to the new material. With apologies to Stuart, but this has been going on all week. Jeff Walther -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
