Um, Eddie we, from Canada, have trouble with the term 'beer' when we go south. Sorry.

However on the positive side, I drank heavy ale all my life, and after 35 1/2 hour radiation treatments to the mouth and throat I can't tell pepsi from Coors light until the 3rd one.

Sadly, I'm down to one wee beer a day. I'd like 2 or 12 but it dries out my mouth for 12 to 24 hours.

Now back to the 'problem'. Jeff is the Power/RealBand guy here. There is cross platform stuff, but he might know of some reason for your plight. But like all computer problems it takes time.

I had a customer out of town who had a 8 user Unix system I put in. It crashed during the week, but never on the weekend. Drove them nuts Monday mostly. I spent months talking them through problems, it would crash when printing invoices.

They were a nice industrial strip plaza. I was standing outside their unit one day when the secretary came out and said it happened again. I suspected something and went next door. They had 3 big bays and in one was a old huge electric welder. When they started it the load took out the computer. One UPS with a filter solved it, but the utility had to come in and install a new transformer. They blamed me. Called me names. Were planning to sue me. I even felt threatened. Well I didn't think it would fit where they said they would shove it. Red faces and apologies.

If they ever start the ferry from Cleveland to Port Stanley I'm there!

The latter is about 35 minutes away. The only other time I went there we were in 2 Amphacars and it was 1964 or so. I got a nasty sunburn in the convertible though. Drove back via Detroit it got too rough. Nice AM/Am radio in that sucker.
