An aside.  We have a new Mac BookPro, replacing a G4, and have found that 
many of the old applications that ran on the G4 (mostly those requiring 
classic) WON'T fly on the Mac Book.  Also there seems to be some interesting 
problems using Leopard so we've gone back to Tiger until the issues can be 
resolved.
