Oh, OK. Now THIS makes some SENSE. Thank you, Chris! I stand corrected in this regard. <But to me, more than having a "shelf life", I've never seen printer drivers do the kind of damage that Bea reports as happened. And even assuming the driver screwed up the OS, and screwed up both OS X and OS 9, it still should have had no effect on Emailer at all.> All right. I've never personally experienced a problem with printer drivers that didn't work (for whatever reason), but I have had OTHER problems which required me to do an archive-reinstall of OS X and a clean reinstall of OS 9 -- and even though I obviously had issues which totally messed up both my OS's to the point where I couldn't boot the machine at all on either 9 or X, after reinstalling, not only was the Mac fixed, but it had no effect at all on CE or any other application I use! It was right back to business as usual, as though the problems never happened. I didn't even have to touch any of my backups to restore anything, either. (Though I'm still glad I had them!) <So I think across the board, Bea was just dealing with a bunch of people that didn't know what they were doing, and were just giving her whatever easy lines they could.> I knew I smelled SOMETHING fishy here! Hey Bea -- you really need new techies! ~Yersinia. ________ "If one observes shit congregating in the vicinity of a fan, it is prudent to unplug the fan." ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
