My first guess what that: When the mac first came out, they were one of the only ones who could afford it... And since lawyers never seem to die (j/k to all the lawyers out there but they do seem to work into a ripe old age) they have kept and used what they liked, with solutions built upon it over time (like the graphic design market). I like yours much better though, and hope its true... I know what you mean about the 15 minute thing... My lawyer bills for every damn minute we even talk on the phone. :) -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
