(^_^)I doubt it - probably just an oversight of sorts. A lot of this is personal (^_^)taste and what one is used to, but the fact is that a great deal can be (^_^)achieved very quickly from the command line that can take a great deal of (^_^)searching out and replicating in a point-and-click environment. I'm a rank (^_^)amateur, not a professional, but I have still found that a few minutes (^_^)looking at shell commands can save hours of messing about in graphical file (^_^)managers etc. If I was denied the use of Linux or other Unices, and had to (^_^)buy a commercial OS I would most certainly take Mac OS-X over any of the (^_^)Redmond products, though much of the Mac's advantage comes from the fact that (^_^)it is firmly based on BSD Unix underneath the graphical hood. (^_^) (^_^)Good luck figuring it all out. Personally I found that the time spent learning (^_^)what I needed to know to get all the things I wanted to do under Linux was (^_^)time enormously well spent, but we're all different ... (^_^)Best (^_^)Fergus What is strange though is when it was Mandrake, it didn't have these problems. I would love to get back into a Mac actually. :-) Thanks! Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like. -Will Rogers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
