Thanks everyone. I believe this is now my third birthday on the forum, is it not, Philip? If not, it's close. Just filled up on cake, and typing now on my new Mac Mini!!! Good news: This new computer cuts my DVD rendering time down significantly (30 hours before for a 2 hour disc down to about 6). Bad news: They don't come with any sound inputs, so no vinyl restorations for a while until I buy, say, an iMic or something. Anyway...it's a great new computer and I'm very happy with it. Actually, we've had it for a week now, but I'm calling it a birthday gift.
My wife also got me a great apron to wear while I Barbeque. I've always wanted one, and now I need to buy ridiculously long utensils!
Anyway, thanx again, everyone.
later
