Oh how fuckin' modern! Nothing slips by you guys does it?

Just FYI on a Mac currently you throw in Kaliedoscope into the System
folder. Create a Scheme with D'Studio and there you go. Or you can just
download any one of the thousands at http://www.kaleidoscope.net/schemes/

And on system 8.5 it's built in.
