Awesome! Thanks for the instructions and the link guys! Getting used to old fashioned typewriter (as opposed to electric typewriter) sounds now .

Can anyone tell me if this "fix" carries over while in classic? I'd check to see myself, but I am away from my mac on business....
There's time enough, but none to spare.
