No, no, I'm sure it's not your own stupidity.

I reckon that Apple's version of the display code is more robust than  
mine, in that it will work on a wider variety of systems.  I'll have  
to double check, but it may be that mine won't work on a system that  
doesn't support Quartz Extreme, and perhaps your iBook is not in that  
group.

That's really exciting!  I was telling John the other day that one of  
the best theatre experiences I've ever had was at the Rep.  I'm  
thrilled to hear you'll be using it.

Best,
