Well, I've been doing a lot of reading, here and at various other sites before I finally dived in. All that reading left me with more questions. Unfortunately I didn't ask any till I discovered there was actually a Mac friendly version of this site (why this   under a tab for Mac users I don't know). For the past couple months I was reading the Yahoo healthgroups version without any organized grouping of threads- just reading thousands of posts as they came in- trying to follow it all. Then I stumbled over here and the forums actually work and everything is grouped semi-logically. Mac straight-razor Nirvana! Who knew?
Anyway... Now I'm here.
I figure if I can't go shopping (having sent the last of my disposable income off to Ray) might as well join the fray and get some questions answered.
