BTW it will not let you turn the screen so far down that you can't see it. Does it display in the Control Panel on other Macs? I'm faintly annoyed at Apple's habit of including ridiculous cdevs in standard Systems. For example, Startup Device. Nobody needs this unless they've got more than one hard drive, right? The vast majority of Macs out there seem to have it, simply because so many people don't know what it's for. -- /=============================================================================\ | Francis Stracke | My opinions are my own.
