Eisbhoch,
Doug learned what he knows about harassing the religious from Harry.

Isn't it amazing that those who demand freedom of choice are the most
critical of those who exercise that choice.

Eisboch

Amen ;)

Another way of looking at it:
Why are folks that don't beleive in God...

so afraid of him?

SI 2002 ;)

I don't give a damn what religion an individual practices so long as he
or she doesn't try to shove it on me or my religiously neutral society,
or, for example, to use that religion as an excuse to stand in the way
of science or medical research, procedures, or practices. That's as true
for "Christians" as it is for Muslims.

You never witnessed me preventing anyone from exercising free choice.

Considering your skill level, I wouldn't do anything to YOUR
computer unless
you need to solve a clear problem. Every new product, especially
from MS,
carries new risks. Leave it alone.

Well, I'm sure not as proficient as you, Jimh, and Harry. You guys
definitely know most of what there is to know about computers!

Here are two examples of things that would drive you to drink even
more than you already do:

Install problems plague Office 2007 SP1

On Patch Tuesday this month, Dec. 11, the arrival of Service Pack 1
for Office 2007 was confusing to many people. I haven't yet found any
Patch Watch readers whose machines automatically installed SP1. But
many people inadvertently installed it and thought it had been
auto-installed, because Vista offers SP1 as an optional patch and it's
prechecked, so it's easy to miss the fact that you're approving SP1's
installation.

Some people who have the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or
Home/Student versions of Office 2007 are finding that they get a
cryptic 78F error when they try to install SP1. It appears that the
cure for this requires that you uninstall Office and then reinstall it.

As one newsgroup poster pointed out in a forum post, that works only
when you have an install disc. If you don't, you'll need to contact
the OEM manufacturer for a replacement.

Office 2003 SP3 hurts Access, old file formats

If you've decided to spend time installing all the latest service
packs this holiday season, Office 2003 SP3 is something you should
consider - as long as you don't have an Access 2003 database. Access
developers are still recommending that you hold back before installing
SP3 for Office 2003.

For the rest of you, if you've already installed SP3 and you find you
can't open older versions of files in Word and Excel, a documented
Registry edit can allow you to use those files once again.

Microsoft's Knowledge Base article 938810, which describes this
workaround, is a bit tricky. For this reason, I built a file that
makes the necessary Registry changes for you. It's posted on a blog
page from which you can download a .zip file that contains
officefix.reg. Right-click this file, then click Merge to make the
changes to your Registry.

Why would Herring need Orifice 2007?

Why would you?

It seems to me that they are upset because someone is able to receive
strenth from something they don't understand. They make it their
mission to try to destroy someone's beliefs.

Not really. When it comes to helping someone with a computer problem, I
don't want to share the credit with anyone else.

I would guess it is best not too unless you have a clear need for it. I
cite 3 reasons.

1) Your friends you might mail docs to don't have 2007, the new format
2) It saves the files in the new format, there is not an easy way to turn
back
3) If you don't like it, not good.

Stick with what works.

Thanks.
