MORE complete agreement! Apple, you listening? I have SO many times wished I could just boot with a key down instead of having to go through my system folder and carefully pick out all offending inits when I am testing software to see if it is Mac II Incompatible or merely incompatible with one of my many inits. A question on this subject: I have noticed that some INITs do check for one key or other upon loading. Has Apple announced a standard check taht everyone is ignoring? Or is the subject simply ignored? EndUser the NonHacker a.k.a JBZimmerman! -soon to be hacker (after finals, I'll learn C.
