However, if you use Mac and OSX, be aware that the driver for the 2450 only works in OS9 which means you have to toggle back and forth between operating systems which is a BIG Pain for me as I am new to Mac and didn't want to learn more than one OS. Hopefully there will be a driver upgrade to OSX soon. Howard Cummer Hong Kong - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
