That might work for video poker, but Mr. Browne went on to mention two people who rely on certain Windows-only accounting software. Virtually all professional-level accounting software is Windows-only; you are very unlikely to see an accounting firm using Macs. Accountants are justifiably hyper-conservative on maintaining the integrity their databases. There is no way an accountant is going to switch to the Mac OS, and with very good reasons. They run the risk of ruining the trust they have built with their clients over the years, and with it their reputations and business. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm
