gordon,
Manipulating files is ffairly trivial with the ttools in terminal.

Hi David. At present, other than manipulatin files, moving them
around and so on, it's difficult to provide specifics. I agree with
you that specifics would be helpful. So I'll just hang on I think
until the time comes when I get my hands on the MacBook Pro. It
would be nice though even now to be able to put away the keyboard for
that machine, and navigate Finder etc. via my IMac. As for Freedom,
many phone calls were made by me at the time to their UK dealership
and to them directly. They promised me at first that they would look
into the matter. Then they said that there was nothing they could do
since the serial number had been re re-sold. They said they
apologised, but that's as far as they were willing to go. I received
no recompense, no new SMA, no new serial number. This was after
purchasing the Pro upgrade to my initial standard license. I'm sure
you and most other people would have been very dissatisfied with that
kind of treatment. Were I in the business of selling my products,, I
would certainly not treat my customers like that. And frankly I
don't see how anybody could call the kind of shrug-off I got anything
else but a rip-off. If you have any contacts at Freedom and you want
to verify what I'm saying, I'll happily give you the details
privately. I can assure you that what I'm telling you is perfectly
true. My credibility isn't an issue here. This is just fact, pure
and simple.

Hi Gordon,
I am sorry for your loss and it's good to know from whence your
statements come. I however have seen a lot of good come out of them
and while no company is perfect, I have had problems with dell and
other companies as well, I try looking at the benefits that can be
found in the products. I can'tt imagine freedom scientific knowingly
ripping you off but I also will not impune your credibility.
With your MacBook Pro, you should happily be abble to do as you
intend. The concrete list of tassks you wish to perform will help to
constructt a method of carrying it out.
