What I don't understand is he seemed to say that both the Powerbook and Hiarcs book were being used at the same time. That was what I questioned as to how it can be done. If he indeed is using both books at the same time, I am curious as to how one could accomplish that? I honestly don't see how that is possible. Is it? I would certainly be amazed if it is!
