I've always been a few years behind everyone else though. When I bought my first Mac, I was using OS 7 for six years. My second Mac came with OS 8.6. In a few years I should be where you guys are now. About a year after I began desktop computing, I got involved in spreadsheets and haven't been able to break the habit yet. Although I got a little caught up with graphics about two years ago and started experimenting with AppleWorks. It's not the greatest, but I did find out how to do a few cute things with it. I imagine every program has its good and bad. Anyway, thanks again.
