It's no problem. Just go into System Preferences, under the apple menu. You'll see five categories of preferences: Personal, Hardware, Internet & Network, System, and Other. In the Personal category (the top one), click on International. A dialogue box will pop up, asking which language you want to use. At the moment, it's set for French ? probably Canadian French CSA. Just click on English instead ? you might have to scroll down a list to get to it ? and English moves to the top of the list and becomes the default for all menus, dialogue boxes, sorting, etc. Piece of cake. --- "Patrick S.
