Sit back and enjoy it working great I'm not going to start an Apple debate. Apple products work great until they don't work, then you're pretty much stuck. And they seem to work most of the time, which is why they're so popular - they don't require any effort. Problem is, things like what the OP wants to do is relatively non-standard, and the Apple product doesn't not work well with anything "non-standard", but this is by design. [/QUOTE]
