Perhaps, but around here I like to say that my sig. other did. He was a computer programmer for Kraft Foods and General Telephone in Chicago in the early '70s, and (according to him) he developed a program for networking Kraft computers with ones in remote locations. This may be so, although it's only a family joke and I'm sure others were actually the ones to enable computer intercommunication. (He left the programming field to follow his muse as a repairer of trucks and buses, particularly electrical systems.) Also, a few months ago I posted to this list concerning early video failure of my Bondi iMac. Thanks to the list, it is now running. My SO first replaced the power supply board (which smelled a little toasted) and it still did not power up. He then installed a new flyback transformer, and ... hit the power button ... Happy Mac! It's now running 10.2.4 purringly. Karen -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
