Dan, Well I'm glad to see there are work arounds for the Win crowd. I for one wouldn't want to have to give up using my email address . I do use secondary addresses just so I'm not bothered by spam , strangers etc. I would also like to point out executable files don't run on a Mac not in OSX nor OS 8/9 etc. So just who's Mac System are you going to own? ;-) Will S PS. I've got a PC. OSX has so much software & much of it free or nearly free. I no longer need to use it! Choice is a very good thing. If Bill Gates had his way there wouldn't be any! -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
