Don't worry about it so much. Computers are in a constant state of upgrades. As long as your video card is supported by the software your actually running, then everything is fine. :) The only thing I worry about is file format comapatibility. I really hate the nearly non standard file formats for just about everything and the constant inability to open this versions document verses that version. That gets annoying. > > In my opinion, Apple needs to SLOW DOWN.

Apple knows it can't sustain [or burden everyone with] constant 12-18 month upgrades. I believe it was Phil Schuller [sp?] who said that the upgrades will slow down, and it will probably be more of a 2 -2.5 year schedule. -- Nick http://www.izap.com/~pinnacle therhythmex: AIM, Jabber, and Yahoo Messenger ID "So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?"
