O and BTW, here's our new computer (3rd editor machine) 4th machine in the
network that we just ordered today:
http://www.gateway.com/products/GConfig/proddetails.asp?system_id=fx510xg&seg=hm
it's the one above the one that's kickin some biggie butt currently. the
new x1900 dual channel video and maxed the mem as we did in the others.
ALSO . . we bought it for less than we paid for one of our G5's that our
Gateway kicked all over the road :o) let alone, the 2nd operator we
trained with two hours OJT (on the job training for those who are anglo
saxxon) and a 4 page write up instead of three days and two classroom days
with FCP training wherein the 2nd operator never did get the hang of the
slap :o)
