Well, I've forwarded your query over to my favorite Mac supremecist- he'll
likely be able to tell you how to deal with it.

In the meantime, it occurred to me, that Mac owners remind me very much of
Hardley Davidson owners. Adamantius seems to spend all his time tinkering
with his Mac, just like Hardley riders seem to spend all of their time
tinkering with their bikes, yet both will fight to the death about the
superiority of their machines, while usually complaining about Fords, which
have the benefit of being constructed so that you CAN fix them, unlike
Chevies, which never break until they melt down- blow an engine, or
something.

Anybody else notice this?
