OK, so the Mac handles with a little bit more finesse. How many people in this world use two monitors? OK, maybe its a little more common among Macs because, for instance the SE screen size is so abysmally limiting. -- Craig Werner (future MD/PhD, 4.5 years down, 2.5 to go) werner@aecom.YU.EDU -- Albert Einstein College of Medicine (1935-14E Eastchester Rd., Bronx NY 10461, 212-931-2517) "I never knew there was anything wrong with me till I met Dr. Hackenbush."
