[Guest guest]

Sorry to hear it.

 

I've been a mac person all of my life, but feeling increasingly isolated by

lack of compatability with the pc world..

Well, I'll get the software sooner or later.

 

I agree about some incompatibility. However, as a fairly recent switcher

(who came over 18 months ago) who was getting fed up with constant viruses

even though I was scrupulously careful, I'm thrilled to bits to have an

operating system (OS X) for which there are currently no viruses or worms.

Nice to be free of crashes and blue screens of death too. I used to spend a

fair bit of my time keeping my computer running...now I just forget the

computer and enjoy working on it.

 

Well, I'd better stop...I sound as evangelic as a reformed smoker ;-)
