No , it does not assist. I'm happy to soak up technospeak,for instance the Triumph Bonneville of 1972s inlet valve timing was opening 34 degrees before top dead centre and closing at 72 degrees after top dead centre when using E 3134 Cams ! That's a Fact,I know ,I raced one. Your comments are rather hazy with an authority that lacks detail, so please, be more detailed in your response. I'm not questioning your knowledge, just the depth /explanation of your response. There are lots of us who are looking to move on from CRT to LCD screens that really do need to get the facts before we buy. Many of us ( shock......Horror) don't use Macs, so understanding both what is on offer and what actually delivers the goods is important. Ellie Kennard actually raises a good point. Whilst we all do the same job we use 2 systems to do so,sorry the Linux people ,(I'm praying for your ascendancy ) So, how about prefixing with Mac problems or PC problems in the header That would help those who have a delete function on their email to filter out superfluous mail from the inbox
