Thanks a ton. It took some time to work this all out but I'm quite pleased
with it. I should note that I only tried on a PowerPC Mac but not yet an
Intel Mac (but the Intel attempt is next on my agenda).

No problem, thanks for being nice today (I hope Helge won't be upset about
my cross posting today :-)

That is a good point. Rarely do people exert energy to proclaim good news or
to say "thanks".

Thanks for confirming that I can ignore this.

Great to know this is inert.

Umm yes, I guess that is obvious. Maybe this is a dumb question, but is
there a set of documents I should install for the OGo documentation that
will cause the Web UI to be happy and not complain?

Ok, ignore I shall do, thanks.

Quite true, its not as if Apple is innovating anything here and they are
getting sucked into the euphoria.

That's also a good point. I imagine that some little groups who have plans
to scale and become a bigger group later could benefit but that would also
require these people to have a future vision to add people and grow their
business (there seem to be a lot of people in the world who lack this vision
but after reading Paul Graham's essays, it seems now is the best time in the
world to try and scale a business over the Internet and to use a great
product like OpenGroupware to connect people together from all over
planet!)

But of course I'd love to see in included in everything. :)


That would be nice. Thanks Adam for your helpful replies. I appreciate what
you, Helge and others who contribute to OGo are doing, and you have a lot of
energy as I notice you and Helge answer many questions on the lists (sorry
if I left other people out, its not intentional but rather I can only read
so much information before it comes info overload and I notice recently
mostly Adam and Helge but I know there are others too, just can't recall
their names at the moment).
