Well i've never used a mac and now i won't even bother for sure!

I like how you tried to cut out my commentary on Windows and its difficulties and peculiarities, but you accidentally included it anyways -- hint: read more then the first line of a paragraph. My point stands. And I take your non actually responding to my actual point as a concession to it. With that, I'm signing off of this conversation. Tah. -- Stephen Hansen ... Also: Ixokai ...
