    Ben, The new look seems to work fine with my Mac. I like the fact that it grows when you expand the window. Does that mean you would not mind wider photo's in the posts? For example a panoramic view. Very nice! Guy

Apparently, you may not be able to see it from the road which makes it hard to determine exactly where this is occurring. I went out to dinner with someone on Saturday who told me...

    Mac user’s. Anyone have the new Mac operating system yet? The girl’s and I went to the “party” at the Apple store last night and purchased it. After loading it in I noticed it was somewhat slower as I guess should be expected. All of my previous programs seem to work with it, so that concern...
