Gino-

Couldn't have said it better myself. I don't know what kind of
frustrations Frank is trying to work out on us, but it's great to be able
to have Mac users just trying to help each other in the face of such
bigotry.

Which is precisely why I suggested a Mac consultant for this problem of
formatting a replacement EIDE hard drive. On the few occassions when I
have needed their assistance, I have found every person who works
exclusively (or at least principally) on Macs to be extremely helpful,
knowledgable and just plain good folk. I wish I could say the same for the
PC consultants I have to deal with on a weekly basis. Some good ones, some
bad ones, but most seem just plain pissed off. I don't know what that says
about the difference between the two platforms, but maybe someone should
do a study on the average life expectancy of PC vs. Mac consultants.
