Well, I don't know about this, but the thing that bothers me is that I don't have a clue how OS X works and where everything is. I hope this will come in time. It is a beautiful interface though. The other thing is in OSes 7-9 I sort of knew how to fix everything that could happen and now I'm told you can't really copy your whole hard drive in case of a hard disk crash. So what parts do I copy? Etc. Plus ... the whole metaphor has changed with additional users. I can't just go onto the Desktop, then to the Hard Drive, and find everything in there. It depends on which User it is. Confusing to me. I'm waiting for the apps to come in. Then hopefully everything will clear up in due time. Although I'm not really upgrading many apps, and never will, such as Quark, Word, Excel, etc. Anne Keller Smith, Webdesign mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.earthpigz.com Please no attachments!
