That maybe so, Dale, but hopefully one day you'll be in the position to dispense sound (or at least an educated guess) advice to someone asking for help on this list. That's why we hang around here. we were all newbies once. I mean most of us on this list presumably have better things to do, but we keep reading, posting and answering what we can. Look on the bright side, you've gotten a lot of response to your problems and hopefully some has been a help to you. Similarly, look at the sort of things you throw out to the list- could any of them be considered premature, gratuitous or inflammatory? I would dare say that some of them could, but that's just my perspective. Maybe the same could be said about my posts. Who knows? But we stick together and answer what we can when it's needed. That's the nature of Mac users for the most part- we're a family of sorts... and somebody has to be the red- haired stepchild ;) JOKE dave -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
