I think it's ridiculous to excuse their cutting corners like this. If Apple had been in this situation, they would simply have invested the money to develop and build a time machine, and sent the specs back. The only reason Microsoft didn't do that is because they were too busy trying to figure out the subtlest yet most dangerous possible deviation from the Macintosh Interface Guidelines. :-) :-) Robert
