It's amazing. I won't go into any details [perhaps you can, John], but it's amazing... Go do your nearest Apple dealer, and bug 'em for a free demo of what it can do. It's absolutely amazing... > -- > -Greg T. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ^ Any resemblance between the above | ARPANet : gt0t+@andrew.cmu.edu ^ ^ views and those of my employer, my | ^ ^ terminal, or the view out my window | ^ ^ are purely coincidental. | Bitnet : R746GT0T@VB ^
