I'd never heard of this beast. Thanks for your reply. I've been looking into the Mac mini but have already tempered that idea with the idea of trying OS X on a Powerbook (seeing that I don't yet have a laptop and am increasingly interested in getting one for writing purposes). As usual, the major sticking points are a) software, and b) price. Still kicking ideas around, still editing in Frame, still debating whether I should give Dvorak a whirl. -- johne cook | johne.cook at gmail.com | http://www.phywriter.com |
