My point exactly. Alex has more than his share of pronunciation eccentricities. However, after so many years of Eloquence use, I'm going to give him a good try. Let's see how adaptive I can be in making the proper auditory closures so that eventually, he won't seem so quirky. Craig" On Saturday,

Hi, I don't see a slot on my 4GB mac book Ere to work with a CD. If that's the case, is there such a thing as a portable CD player that can be used via USB to interact with this? Thanks, Sharon H. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
