Are you using the same kind of Mac I'm using? I have yet to be unable to find a (usually very high quality) free (at least as in root beer) application to do anything I've wanted. Between freeware repositories like MacUpdate and FreeMacWare, and Fink/Darwinports/etc I can do anything I have had a need to do on my Mac. /ends plug for Macs The great thing about Open Source is that if you really dislike something strongly enough, you're free to change it. -- Alex Esplin /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
