I wouldn't call using a Mac if you are used to a PC without
frustration, but that's part of the fun...sometimes.


I really prefer a computer that allows me to run my software with as few
problems as possible.

It's the frustration of learning to do some things a bit differently.
Learning curve, as it were. Not problems.

Messing around with computers is also a hobby of mine. When I am
producing deliverables for work, I use WordPerfect, as I have for many,
many years.

Gosh, it must be awful to be so old and stuck in one's ways as you are, eh?

Nothing wrong with a hobby.
I was just curious as to the benefits (if any) of using a Mac to run
Windows. Or if there was any significant advantage of using a Mac period.

Unless you are doing something machine or OS or software specific, I
don't believe there is an advantage.

I think I have stated here any number of times that I like the
ergonomics of the Mac stuff. I hang out at the Mac stores at the two
malls we frequent the most. I suppose I could say I was afraid if I did
not buy a Mac soon, the stores wouldn't let me back in...and then what?
If I spend too much time oogling the babes in Victoria's Secret, they'll
call mall security.

Incidentally, the mannequins at VS have the "best" nipples of any store
mannequins. Yes, I notice nipples. Real and otherwise.

I don't see how that could be, as the main ingredients are pretty
much the same quality, and depend more on price. If you buy
certified memory, you are getting something that may be better than
uncertified memory. The drives are the same, the cpu's are the
same, the ergonomics are a lot different.

Correct......because (as I stated several times already) our computers
run WinXP. It is my son who has VISTA on his laptop. The laptop was
built to run VISTA. I asked him just the other day (he is home till
the 19th) is he has run into any problems and his answer was "no".

The 3 main problems folks are having with VISTA a

1. Some hardware is not compatible with the system.
2. Computers running the system with inadequate memory.
3. Folks upgrading to VISTA rather than running a clean install.

Got it?
Actually there are many more problems than that.

Got it?


If you do not run that OS why are you so obsessed with it?

BTW: Add Scottie to the list of folks running VISTA with no problems.




He is obsessed with VISTA because I use it. That's pretty much settled.

You need to reread my comment, I NEVER said no one is using Vista
without any problems. When you played with your son's computer you
noticed it did not seem to run as fast as you expected it to run and
wanted to tweak it. That is a very common complaint.

I don't obsess about Vista, but I also would not recommend anyone
install and/or buy it if they have another option.

Yep. Same with Dell computers running WinXP. Dell has a bunch of programs
running in the background that only eat up resources. Disabling them makes
the computer run faster. Heck, even my 12 year old nephew knows that.
