I have a friend who knows so much about Macs, that what he doesn't know literally isn't worth knowing. Jimmy Harmon is an owner of Graphics Ink, which is a Graphics Art and Printing firm for several of the largest firms in RTP. He loves Macs so much that whenever there is a new model, he just can't wait until he gets the newest models that Steve Jobs has created. His company even has an OSX server with 2 terabytes of RAID storage. So when I read Brian's question, I knew who should be the one to help. Yes, this is OT (but I believe it's my first OT). Anyway, you might want to consider what he advises. --- Al Johnson
