I forgot about the Crossover Pug-in. I'm with you. Now if Apple would stop screwin' around and port Quick Time I'd shoot that one out the window too. But I'd still support the developers. Wild Bill and his $$ troops (slobbering sycophants) got the last money they'll ever get from me in 1999. Windows 98 SE and Office 2000 'cause I needed them for some courses I was taking through Athabasca University.
