This, and the rest of the thread is something I wish Apple's upper mgt.
would read and appreciate. The sooner Apple lays off some lawyers and
hires some customer service and technical people (BTW, the EXACT OPPOSITE
of what they have been doing the last few years), the better for all
us users - both Mac and non-Mac. 

And given that a good lawyer costs about four times as much as a good
technical person, the better for Apple's bottom line!
How I long for the days when Apple was a company I could respect.
