The "horizon" for "Vista" is not very nice at the moment. Stick with XP, all updates included. I am sticking with XP Pro - everyone at work who has upgraded to Vista this year complained bitterly that their hardware or 'old' software refused to work with the new system. Some managed to get patches or new drivers from the manufacturers or experts in usergroups, but many are still having major headaches! Too much like hard work, and too unreliable at the moment. It's enough to drive you to Linux! Regards, David. |

Just when I get to XP, everybodys leaving for Vista. Talk about fast...I'm on a G5 with OSX (need to upgrade to Leopard), 30" Monitor, Earthlink DSL, Browsers: Firefox, Safari, Camino, SeaMonkey (for HTML) and Google for the NG. No problems in almost 10 years with Mac and Earthlink. OpenOffice is for documents. Photoshop for Philatelic and Art JPegs. Haven't yet ventured into BootCamp to run Windows XP or Vista. Only wish is to be able to run Turbo-Lister. TL |

Only wish is to be able to run Turbo-Lister. TL I have no idea what you are talking about I remember OSX was way back in the 90's? Perhaps Turbo lister is like XTree Gold? I liked that program. I am about to follow suit with older gear, because I can get P4's now for $60 I am going to set one up in the garage, and run W98se on it, see how it performs. I am feeling more comfortable with XP since aquiring "XP for dummies", I can finally follow what my son is doing with messenger and audio files. It has been great to have the family online from Thailand and has brought the family together. |

More Micketstuff development by trial and error for the user, rather than a solid OS, well tested -=in house=- before 'release' Great company to require Beta testers to PAY for the effort. Remember DOS 5.0 ? :^) No, I went from DOS 3.3 to 6.1. Standard rule of DOS was avoid the -=even=- numbered (sub) versions. 3.0, 3.2 ... etc. Macs look better every day - even I may go there, as I'd have to replace 80% of my software with Hasta la Vista, baby. Hey, they're getting some of the limelight with problems as well. One can go there, but unless one does business SOLELY in the Mac market, one will be at somewhat of a loss in the business world. Artsy-fartsy stuff - why not! Ah dinna think imagery (scanning, restoration, etc.), audio/video recording/editing/burning, spreadsheets or databases are "artsy-fartsy". All that has been ported over to Mac and is completely compatible with files on winblows or Mac-OS. GAMEZ and other carp (fish) can fry in X-Box or whatever ... too busy! heh... databases? GOOD DBs? On Macs? hmmm... That's a wee stretch. The other stuff has been there for some time. All the other stuff is artsy-fartsy! :^P But, that's what Macs are good for... I program in the business world, not the fanciful world. Business computers, for accounting / db related purposes are IBM clones, since the beginning. Wintel machines or at least WinAMD... :^) Amongst others, of course... Now, with web based programming, the playing field has evened up somewhat. This all started for me when IBM PCs (actually earlier, but I won't bicker) were the "promise" of a bright future for personal computing. For collecting stamps, doing stamp related work, PCs / Macs work both as well. There was a time when Macs were overpowering the PCs in the artsy-fartsy realm, but I have the full Adobe CS2 suite on my PC and don't see any advantages of a Mac. Same with music, open office and others. I have plenty of VST synthesizers and graphics programs that will allow me to play and get things done as well as a Mac can. I don't really care about the O/S as much as I care what I can do on top of it. That's what counts - retired or not. :^) |
