Thank you, Gregg, you just brought back all the memories of trial and error, reboot after reboot, selecting heads and cylinders etc. on blue screens for hours, deep into the night*. I can relate that to what I know about Macs, now. Confusion vaporized. mart *I hated these occasions. My PC and me had a very troublesome relation regarding blue screens. With Macs, it is almost dissapointing when I bring one home and it works rightaway. Girlfriend then looks up and says: 'again nothing broken? what a pity!' �mart -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
