Hey, ease off!  We are all pleased that Macs are rapidly penetrating the
University and Business world.  Unfortunately, this means that we can
safely predict that some poor new Mac user is going to come along every
3-6 months with a question that we all know the answer to because it has
been discussed ad-nauseum on this forum in the past.  Let's answer these
requests politely, so that we don't scare the neophytes and amateurs (me!) 
off the net! If it really bothers you, put "blinking apple" into your Kill
file for this newsgroup!

Sorry about the flame, the tone of the above response to a legitimate 
question rubbed me the wrong way.
