Hi, y'seff!

OK, just a few answers for YOU...

I agree that the PC (*gag*) keyboard has a nice feel to it, but the
sucker is HUGE!!  I haven't got enough desk space as it is, and I find
that with the Suitcase's ability to load FKeys as I find them necessary,
I really don't need the PC-MacKey's custom configuration.  I have a
friend who LOVES his though (but he's always bled a little blue, being a
banker and all...)

I must admit ignorance here:  I've never heard of Open Mac Enterprises.
I'm running a MacMemory MaxPlus board, though, and can highly recommend
their stuff.  No problems (NULL, NIX, NADA) with anything.

Piece of the proverbial cake.  Open up the Font/DA Mover and hold down
the option key when you hit the Open button.  It will then let you open
any file you like and install your font directly into that file.  See?
You don't even have to be a superhacker!!  You can also, of course,
perform the same function with ResEdit, but that process is quite a bit
hairier and scarier.
