Greetings from CERN!
Sounds similar enough. It's an old PowerBook G3 in my case, so I'll
give it a try when I'm back to Heidelberg. It might have to wait till
Wednesday next week because I have to give a talk (30 mins) on
Wednesday afternoon, and I learned of this on very short notice.
(Someone forgot to tell our group that we should send a speaker -
oh, well... ;)
I'll let you know what comes out.
Cheers,
Manuel
