Sound??

[Jeff Brooks-Manas]

I agree. Especially since Terra Soft solutions sells Apple machines with YDL 4 pre-installed. I suspect that when you buy the hardware with the OS installed, there's no error. At least I hope that's the case...

I'm going to try Ubuntu, but that's not exactly a solution to a problem with YDL 4....

One would have thought they might have worked out such a major issue in the
