Hi Gordon,
Lol. I think we are as well. Since I have removed myself as much as
possible from the Windows system building, I am not even going to adventure
Near the Mac stuff. Out of the box is just fine with me.
Take Care

hi John. I think that, since Apple writes their OS for specific hardware,
you'll likely get best results if you stick within those boundries. And it
seems to me that the best way to do that is to let them do the builds,
<smile>. The PC world is a very different ballgame, as there is only a very
loose hardware spec. In other words, a very long-winded way of saying that
we're in 100% agreement, it would seem, <smile>.
