Rocwell used to get a lot of bad rap about their Mac department, rightly so. I would not advise any novice computer user to buy anything from them (this actually applies to any retail or mail-order place). For example, a year or so ago they sold a Mac as having 16MB of RAM, while it actually had 8MB and running RAM Doubler. I stopped by that store once, and I found the salespeople extremely pushy, and lose complete interest in you as soon as they found out that I wasn't a "dummy." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- nil@akula.com - stan@syberia.com - http://www.syberia.com/stan/netcrate/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
