Hi Ibrahim,

It will be a laugh, but that's all. Not at all productive.

All the best

Steve

Hi Steve.

I'm no fan of apple, but my brother is what one would term a mac addict. 
He's got it all, the MacBook, the MacMinny, airport express wireless 
streaming system, Time Capsule which is a router with hard drive and of 
course the IPhone.  You can't even connect an external bluetooth keyboard to

that 3GS, but I'll give it a go if only for a laugh.

All the best, Ibrahim.
