texte = Hahahah ... I'm sorry, I just have to say one thing: As a mac user (all my life) I have to laugh at the statement "so typically blind of the ramifications" and referring to Apple's "bonehead stunts". The fact is that I've been fighting with MS (built-in and most intentional) compatibility problems and issues all my life. It just amuses me when I see some MS user get upset over some third party software issue. : c) Although, I do agree that a simple image file would be best in this situation. : c) Thanks, MK On Thursday, July 24, 2003, at 09:14 AM, John Peacock wrote: > Donovan wrote: > >> It's native on OSX.
