Does this mean that Apple is saying we will have to upgrade to get the new addressing capability? I'm not prepared to shell out an additional $1500 for this. It's beginning to feel like 'bait and switch' time. What do you think? How much more pressure is necessary? - Gary Goldberg Census Bureau/DIR/SIRS AOL: OgGreeb cs421317@umbc5.umbc.edu
