There are five Macs in my household and my iBook is the only one that has this problem, as far as I'm aware. We all run much the same thing, except that I have GPG software installed. We all follow the same maintenance schedule (Cron tasks etc) and use our computers in a very similar way (including shutting down at night). As well as my iBook being the only one to have this text problem it also is the only one that has a problem with the software for our USB HP scanner. Why that should be I really don't know. What I do know is that I'm not the only one with these problems but how we get to a point where we can really compare systems along with usage I really don't know. Perhaps this is the next stage in the evolution of software, working out a reporting system for faults that would actually give a more accurate picture of what's going on. Perhaps Dan's got a take on whether this would actually be possible, and useful? pb -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
