Glad to hear the issue is being looked into. It will probably be a while be I upgrade to Intel macs and once I do that I'll still have PowerPC macs to do something with. If there is anything I can do to help like testing let me know. I'm not a C# or C++ programmer at all, do PHP and MySQL, but when I have the time I do want to start learning.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Blessings,</font></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><br></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Scott</font></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><a href="http://www.scottnorman.com">www.scottnorman.com</a></font></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><br></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 6.0px 0.0px"><font face="Times" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Times; font-family: Times; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; ">God's covenant of revival fire has fallen upon Orange County, California, so that the Church of Orange County will become one and bring healing, salvation, and redemption to the county, and to take part in the harvest of one billion plus souls into the Kingdom of God. - Scott Norman</span></span></font></p><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span></div></span> </div><br><div><div>On Feb 10, 2008, at 9:14 AM, Dr Scofield wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Scott T.
