You're certainly entitled to your opinion. I use windows every day (like most of the world)
and can't remember the last time I saw a blue screen. It's been a lot of years. If you spent any

time with Window's you wouldn't have these problems but I doubt you really want to see Windows

running smoothly at any rate because it spoils the "Windows is bad" mantra from hard core Apple fans.

Like I said I don't have any problem with Apple, We use it in the studio I am rebuilding (albeit an old version).

I just hate seeing the old Windows myth (and there are Apple myths as well) thrown around when 30 years and

hundreds of workstations and servers has shown me differently. I have logged thousands of hours on these machines

and only speak from my personal experience. YMMV

> It is also important that you have the most current drivers.

Those are manufacturer's drivers, I'm not going to touch them.

> So what do you use? Do you write your own drivers. That statement makes no sense.

I'm using the drivers that Crumar included in the OS. Why should I change the drivers they chose with something I'm not even sure exist?

News Flash: The Crumar drivers are the manufacturer's drivers!!

I am sure as with a lot of the keyboards that have come out lately the problem will be fixed with a couple of firmware updates.

This has nothing to do with Windows software. I have to go get something done today...Cheers, Gary

The problem is that's no myth. Every time I'm feeling low about how worse are today's Mac's when compared to the older ones all I have to do is to use a Windows based Pc to remind me how much better they still compare today against those.

I Like I said if what you have work use it. I am also proficient in UNIX (or I used to be) so your comment on Linux (UNIX) is irrelevant. Linux is great for some things and I have set up many servers based on it.
