The bit about "has the appearance of..." was fine. I agree that it did
have that appearance. It was following it up with "didn't you?" which
was both unnecessary and an untrue accusation. In NZ English that
phrase is often used very negatively of people and maybe I have a
heightened sensitivity to it because of that.

And even if you were a native speaker the problem remains. I quickly
discovered in the early days of being online that one has to be very
careful not to use sarcasm in the presence of the citizens of a
certain English speaking nation as they completely misunderstand it
and think it is being mean! Sigh...
Now, getting back to being on-topic for this email list:

I only have one disk in my G5. I do have some spare disks about the
place and could put another one in to test, but at this point I will
wait a bit to see if anyone else can easily run this test first.
Cheers,
