May have been a rant but at least he's familiar with a range of technologies. I follow a wide range of technologies to invest. It's pretty obvious to me that most Mac users/investors don't seem to follow anything other than Mac. Just read a MacObserver rant about the mediocrity of Windows. One of his points was to change the screen resolution needed you to go thru 3 dialogue boxes. That's just plain wrong. To change res on my Win95 box I right click anywhere on the screen. The pop-up menu has an active desktop item. With the mouse cursor over that item, a small attached pop-up menu appears with choices for the active desktop. I click customize. So far that's one right click and one left click. A tabbed dialogue box opens, one of tab of which is settings. Click that and the dialogue box displayed contains a slider control for res. Move that click Apply or OK and that's it. The whole process takes a few seconds. Three clicks at most (If I last used settings that dialogue box will appear in front), a slider and a final click. This tabbed dialogue box also contains all the customization for colors, icons, background art etc. So the same few clicks lets you change anything related to the display of the desktop. How does one change res in 8.6? I constantly see this stuff. If you read Mac oriented sites, a fair amount of the info regarding the Intel world is wrong. Even if I didn't invest in anything other than Apple, I'd still read up on the Intel world in order to know the competition. Hard for me to understand. Rich
