First question: is that all, or are there other contaminating and corrupting electronic pollutants? Second: how do I best get rid of it/them, and be sure to leave no traces? I've never had any experience with Apples before. Third: what should I have done? I.e., how do you get a clean laptop to start with? Are there any? Or do you have to do a lot of bell book & candle work wherever you start?? -- Beartooth the Stubborn double retiree & linux hatchling w/ RH 7.2, YDL 2.2, & OSX 10.1 Pine 4.43, Opera 6.03, Pan 0.11.2, Galeon 1.2.5, Mozilla 1.0 Delenda est MegaSleazo! http://www.linuxmall.com/refund/
