DO NOT use tools for OS 9 (like Nortons) on OSX disks, you WILL mess things up. My personal opinion is that if you used Norton's CD's as coasters they would cause the glasses you set on them to crash. If you used Norton's CD's as skeet targets they'd cause your shotgun to jam. If you used them as Christmas ornaments, they'd focus light onto your tree causing it to burst into flames. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
