And one more thing.
I'm rather dull, and so maybe I'm the only moron in these parts that would
do this.
But if you have a new iMac or a OF 3x machine, DO NOT set the load-base on
your machine.
Bad, bad things will happen. Your firmware will be erased. Your machine
will have to be sent away to the folks at Apple.
Like I said, maybe I'm the only dummy who has or will do this.
But I thought I'd at least mention it (while I'm loaded and less
self-conscious ;)
All the best
Jeff
