I had a user who kept going back to the icon in the program manager (that was the one that she new about because that is the one she used to start Word with), and double clicking on it, which resulted in her repeatedly getting the same message. Finally, in frustration, she said "Yes I KNOW!! So RUN it!!" The Mac has had a long time to iron out its problems, give Windows time... Hasn't it been out since 1985? How much time do you want? Isn't the IBM community moving towards OS/2? DOS weenies are the source of my frustation. Too many stupid users who should own Macintoshes but trust those three letters: IBM. Oh well, sooner or later their ignorance will hit them. -Mike
