We? I suggest you 'don't get it' at all Steve (or you wouldn't be
adding your 4dth now).

When I can build my own Mac I'll come back to you re the preference

I was talking to Andy. You have a delete key.

You don't *have* to read *anything*. Are you interested in iPods,
iPhones or the fantasy world of some of the inner circle. Do you
'understand' them (in a COMP sys group) or is it just me you can't
cope with?

Well that may be your experience with Macs but are you talking for me,
a Mac owner, as well? If so then I'm afraid it's you that is talking
bollocks. And you don't need my view for further proof. Read some of
