Yeah, because in OSX you're Lucifer (the 2nd most powerful being in the
universe) not God.  

Phooey.


I was afraid I would have to log in as God or "The Voice of God" (Su),
and given my great talent for typos, I look forward to that about as
much as handling radioactive waste with an oven mitt.

Anyhow, Clint, thank you very much for holding my hand on this.  You
rock.  Cross your fingers.
