Of course, thats in the *latest* macweek.  That didn't help last year

My assumption is that PT/M will come to allow for the use of all methods, 
if not in v1.1, then later.  However, there's no need to wait, unless 
you're application *requires* the comm toolbox (and very few do).

Besides, all you power users with Mac's will be able to enjoy the fastest

And PT/M will be right smack there in the middle of it!
