    We're not PC fans. We simply use them to get the job done.:D

    Hey, I spend more time on my computer than I do with my wife. I'm glad I love my computer, and I'm glad I love my wife. Neither one of them is around to "get the job done", but to improve my life. Mac fan? Heck, yeah.

    - "Gogi, do you like cucumbers?"
    - "Eat - yes, otherwise - no, not really"

    I love my family. I spend probably 1 hour a day with all of them totally.
    I really don't care (shall I say - I don't give a $%#t:-) about any of the 4-5 PCs I have to deal with every day. However I spend 10-14 hours with them on an average day.

    PC (and any computer or other device, like a cellpone, camera, etc.) is just a tool. Buch of copper wires, silicon and plastic parts, arranged in a certain order. Is it useful? Hell, yeah. Do I care? Hell, no. :D Which helps me to migrate from one to another without any hesitation or back thoughts, like "OMG, I have to part with my lovely Nokia (Dell, HP, Sony, Canon, etc.), shall I put it to sleep, so it does not suffer?"

    Fall in love with something like that? Man, and I thought I was a geekrolleyes1.gif

    On that note - I used my HP XP laptop Monday evening because that is where I originally installed Starry Night ( an astronomy program) to find comet Machholz and I did manage to see a glimpse of the comet through the fog. When I turned off the computer it (Microsoft) announced that it was installing three ( 3) security updates ( this is after Security Pak 2 et al ) and not to turn off the computer until it finished. I complied like a good Microsoft repairman.
    Today my laptop is a total boat anchor. It will not boot at all, not into Safe Mode or Safe Mode with VGA or into a previous version that booted successfully, not even after removing the battery and hitting the hard reset button. It will Not Boot. Thank you so much for your help Micrososft. I now get to reinstall XP, Starry Night ( which has a software key) and Photoshop 5 and update to CS which also has a security key in the XP world. This will take the better part of a weekend all because of an update that MSft thought I needed. My next laptop will obviously be a Powerbook, need I say more? I can simply back that up with the same hard drive I back up my MAC.

    It proves exactly what I think: you need at least 7 minimacs ($499 x 7 = $3,493 .. plus tax:-) to replace one decent workstation, usually availalbe for under $1200..
    Thank you for your moral support!thumb.gif
