It's an old PowerBook G3 in my case, so I'll give it a try when I'm back to Heidelberg. It might have to wait till Wednesday next week because I have to give a talk (30 mins) on Wednesday afternoon, and I learned of this on very short notice. (Someone forgot to tell our group that we should send a speaker - oh, well... ;) I'll let you know what comes out.
