At the time, the running argument was between me and a guy on a PC. I should have heeded my own advice that proclaimed, "apple is for people who want to get things done. PCs are for people who just want to play with programming." I got away from Apple because my genealogy work required a PC and I've been semi miserable ever since. Now that that has changed my next computer will be a delicious fruit. <em><strong>I haven't decided for certain that this is a Delicious. Perhaps it's an Akifu Fuji, because that sound like I'm cussing, doesn't it? I wish it was a Granny...or at least was made for a woman who is that old to understand without having to think. But, just working with it today has helped tremendously. Still need to get files on here so I can learn other applications. I'll pass judgement in the next few weeks. Until then...I'm just growling lots.:lol:</strong></em> I first started computer life with an Apple back in 1989. At the time, the running argument was between me and a guy on a PC.
