with all due respect D2, i really do know my way around computers. especially macs.
.... but when you have a dozen drives connected and you're running 4 different computers from laptops to desktops, and running three different proxy servers, with network collisions abounding, something's gotta give.
my problems are way past anything you can ever imagine, and the older i get, the more i forget, and then frustration sets in, and i may as well hold a gun to my head and shoot myself.
