The right YDL version for an iMac DV

[Jim Baker]

Derick,
	Thanks for commenting; I still think if they're going to list it at 
all, they should at least put out a solicitation for more Pismo trials. 
Small company, notwithstanding, they could send out a few free DVD's to 
us diehard Pismo owners with "best known installation instructions" and 
prespecified review form, and let us have a go 'round with it. Maybe 
even answer a couple of questions on their help line.Then they could 
decide whether to leave it posted or drop it. Otherwise, I suppose they 
sell 5.0 some to Pismo owners who end up disappointed.
	JB
