Looks to me like she is a fine lady who is trying to do right by you. Consider by anology what is happening in the US with the H1N1 flu. Our wonderful new VP very honestly said that he told his family to avoid airplanes and public transit. The vested interests are jumping all over him for his truth telling. The vested interests whould rather have the nation fall sick and have hundreds or thousands die than for them to lose some revenue when people avoid risky situations. On this List with the Laptop Hunters discussion we saw how the WFBs defended the poor computer choices depicted in the M$ ads. They did not care that these were crappy computers, all they cared about was pushing the M$ product. Then with your Vista question, again they did not care that XP was a much safer choice for you. They had to push Vista to bolster M$ bottom line at your expense and they jumped all over your truth-telling computer lady. The world needs more truth-telling computer ladies. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
