we'll i guess i'll introduce my self a bit more: Name: Rick, although i do not believe that it is misleading. but i suppose that it could be. my rig: 12" iBook G4 1.2 Ghz, wireless and bluetooth. I've also got an external Lacie HD and DVD Burner (which i just spent a whole evening trying to get to burn 16x DVD-r's at 16x speeds). Running Tiger 10.4.3 This is actually the first Mac that i've owned, and i got it about a year and a half ago (well, actually i got another then, but had it replaced because of logic board problems). I've used 'em off and on for years, and now that it's my primary machine, i hate having to use a windows based PC. that's that. r On Dec 27, 2005, at 1:04 PM, mikewatk wrote: > Rick, > > Actually, the first time I got two copies of your E-mail... then > the test... then this copy of the same mail.
