Perhaps when you originally reported the problems you didn't make it clear that the system had worked for a time and then gone bad. If you had, someone might have suggested your problem was malware or a corrupted file and that you should try reinstalling Leopard. If you did give the whole story at that time and no one made the suggestion, then shame on us. Nevertheless, if you insist on using terms like "fanboi" the presumption that you are trolling is natural and nothing you have said so far makes the accusation unreasonable. -- John Varela Trade NEWlamps for OLDlamps for email

I don't mind being called a "troll" by a "fanboi"! Kind of an honor, actually.
