John or Mark-What are these Kodak files doing in the extensions folder that is inside my system folder? The files are: KODAK PRECISION CP1 KODAK PRECISION ProfileAPI Since they say Kodak on them, I'd figure you'd be able to answer this with extreme ease. I don't have a scanner, nor did my digital camera require any software to be installed. Are these for PhotoCD access? Or maybe files so Kodak can spy on me? Somehow I feel as if perhaps I asked this before. If I did, I apologize for my idiocy. Well, I should apologize for that anyway as it is. Should I also have any FUJIFILM extensions?

Joe --- software and digital imaging utilities are totally separate areas of Kodak from where I work, but I would guess that Randy has it right. Even if you do not have any Kodak hardware installed, Kodak has partnered with quite a few digital imaging companies, who may be using our software: http://www.kodak.com/US/en/nav/digital.shtml http://www.kodak.com/US/en/developers/index.jhtml ------------------ John P.

Joe: You keep saying that about Conflict Catcher. I have no problems with it. I do agree with you that the conflict debugger is rather lame but I don't use that part. I just start from a known-to-be-good exension set and do a binary sort until I find it. It has never taken me more than 5 or 6 restarts to find the problem that way. If I use some good deductive reasoning, I can usually find the problem in less than that.The main reason I use it is because of the incompatibilities between Toast and Disk Burner. I have an extension set for each of them. Each one has its own command key. If I want to switch Toast on I hit CMD-T at restart. If I want Disk Burner it's CMD-N. I have a sound play whenever I activate the Toast set so I know which one is active. I suppose I could buy Toast 5 Titanium and I wouldn't have to do that but I already have CC and T5T costs $$$. The other feature I like about CC is that it allows you to link extensions together. Using Toast as an example, DB has three extensions. I can make it so that all of them will turn on (or off) together if I change one of the others. Then I can name the links to make "mini estension sets". Each time I load a new piece of software that needs an extension I make a link for it. I have a link for the printer, the CD-RW, the scanner, etc. If I think my scanner software is interfering with the CD-RW, for instance, I can just click on the links. I don't have to go through and remember which extensions are for what purpose. But, HEY! This is a free country, right?

Just for the sake of discussion, I hope you understand...What can you do with a 2 or 3 button that can't be done with a 1 button? With just my one button I have the equivalent of about 40 of your buttons. The Wacom Tablet also comes with a cordless mouse. It has two buttons and a scroll wheel. I like the scroll wheel but I have both buttons programmed for the same function... CLICK. There is a button on the pen as well. I have it programmed for CMD-Z (undo) I don't know. I just never liked the idea of a multi-button mouse. It never made any sense to me. I also have a Logigech Marble Mouse. If you want to have a scroll wheel, that's the way to go! It's all in one motion. Move... click... scroll... unclick. Completely natuarl and transparent, once you get used to it. (And it doesn't take long to get used to it, either.)
