Re: [LUG] [OT] HELP! Mac Techies: View Options

2004-01-20 by Andy Hardwake

Hi Chris,

Don't know why it happens, but it's always the same way here after 
upgrading/installing/reinstalling any system software, and it (nearly) 
always gets to normal after 2 or 3 days of use, provided you choose 
your setting as many times a day as you get to it... Not a reasonable 
explanation, I know, but this is how it works here.

Best,

Andy
