                                      Is it worth bumping its priority? Depends what else is before it in the queue. If you are a huge fan, then read it. If you are not a huge fan, put it down to read sometime and enjoy it for what it is. I enjoyed his view of technology, I kept hearing Chris Maunder in the back of my head screaming "It Just Works!" :)

Well, now that Microsoft has dropped IE for the Mac I figure quite a few people that would not have owned one before will have to now if they build web sites. Was already a pain to figure if a font would look good on a Mac without having one, but figured if there was not a lot of screaming it must. Now MS, has really made it hard since you cannot just say use IE. I am glad to the ones are out since maybe some of the old makes will finally drop to the price of a beefed up new PC ;) Rocky Moore <><

                                          The "crappy OS" is actually quite nice, is everything that Linux aspires to be You can connect alternative mice. .NET is .CRAP, so why would they want to figure it .OUT? ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends
