The way I looked at it was different . It at least identified who was doing what and on the passing I saw a few bits of information about hardware. My take on the situation is that for a multiple platform port we need apps, apps and more apps. If I am going to be running the same apps that I am running right now, I rather stay with Intel and enjoy the wide choice of apps for different OSes . Amancio >>> "Jordan K.
