USB Overdrive does quite a lot more than LCC can, and may already be in use for other reasons. Simplify. Also, LCC gained a bad rep a while ago (Leopard release maybe?) because it used some 3rd party hackery tool to hook into the OS - which it (a) didn't mention, and which (b) bluescreened some people's OS upgrades. They don't use it now, but once bitten... Cheers - Jaimie -- "Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others." - Groucho Marx

They don't use it now, but once bitten... They still rely on some dodgy hacks which break applications. They added a category to NSString which broke Delicious Library, if memory serves. -- Chris

The Mac recognised right-clicks well before OSX, for what it's worth. -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm |
