	Well, then I'll go on record.  It works fine for me.  Yes, it's 
slow, but one doesn't expect speed from a Mac+ anyway.  Yes, performance in 
the foreground suffers, but again, you don't expect performance from a 
Mac+.  After I get my II*i (not sure if it'll be a "c" or an "s" yet), I'll 
let you all know how it goes.

	This is interesting.  I've heard from several sources that you need 
version 2.1 of the DW software.  Perhaps this is your problem?
