FYI I read your above and replied to it on alt.usage.english.  As it
happens I still subscribe to c.o.o.e even though there is hardly any
traffic.  Otherwise, I would have missed yours below.  (When I 
opened c.o.o.e, ProNews had marked your post as read, because I had 
already opened it in a.u.e.)

Would you happen to know if a Mac with a 3.8 GHz Intel Core i5 would
have that capability and, if so, how to switch it on?
