Paula I am really surprised too. I think it's not of great value to confuse people like Larry with such forms of information which are definitely not true. If you mean that sometime BD will change the computer platform from Apple to PC then you may be right but this is not a problem. One of our FACScans is now daily hardworking for 14 years and has till now seen three computer systems. It's like changing clothes. But nonsupporting FACScan customers and especially their machines furthermore would be the biggest mistake BD could do. It would create frustration and a lot of old and probably new customers would change from BD to one of the competitors as quick as possible. Volker Volker Eckstein PhD Dept.
