Chuck,
Thanks for the information. Knowing that it's been discussed, thought about, and
that an answer was definitive is all we wanted to know. Will pass this on to the
rest of my MUG.
If at anytime in the upcoming future this changes, please let user groups know
about it! We'd be thrilled to know Apple, like all good parents, sometimes can
have a change of heart.
Macbeth
