Tim, I think that language barrier problem might be called Forward Incompatibility, (but I make joke). All problems with mac refer to Jobs@apple.com (I THINK that email address exists), he knows the people who do the tweaking since the rest of us worry about what we do with a computer and as for that mighty Cube, its exactly the sort of thing that got them into trouble in the first place, unnecessary junk. I couldnt believe it, upgradable processors, PCI expansion slots, no wonder it was white all it needed was a trunk to sweep from to too fro and some big ears. You get the computer that does the best job, just like you take care what part of a reply to take seriously. All computer manufacturers are in their business to make money, Mac included, which is probably why they didnt spend much money on Copeland, or Gershwin, or Rhapsody. Ive just found about ten more things that Quickeys does and would now double recommend the stuff. www.cesoft.com (I think I can figure what Tim's tweaking software does, but Ill try to do better) Cheers xvcoffee Ps Mi Mi
