As a Mac user (since 1985), I tried to be helpful with my GF's  
current round of XP woes today.  Ended up with the usual Dell tech  
support answer: reinstall windows.  How many times have I had to  
reinstall ANY version of OS X due to a lockup? Once last year.  Was  
glad His Steveness didn't make any product announcements that would  
have raided the CLA fund.

No PAW on that scene.  I didn't want my Leica to end up like John  
Voight's M3 in the film 'The Odessa File'. :)

As cool as the iPhone is....I think I'm gonna need the loot for a  
90mm lens.
