I had a friend with a brand new  Mac expensive laptop, and I kept going on about how Macs are awful  and always freezing and crashing under duress, whereas my Toshiba  never freezes. My friend denied all this....then not long after my  friend's Mac crashed and was at the doctors for 2 weeks. My Toshiba  has had just about as much abuse as you can give a computer (except  for in Shemp's case when he is dribbling and squirting all ove the  place on it :-), and it has never had a problem and deals with my  graphic design work no problem. Macs are slow. I'm guessing you're thinking of Mac OS 9. Mac OS X, UNIX based, has never crashed for me--and I've been using it since it was a public beta. My Windoze machine on the other hand... The new Macs are now all on Intel processors and run as fast or faster than their Wintel counterparts. And they even now run Windows at native speed. Even better, since you don't have all the issues (spyware, etc.) of Windows, you can now run Windows apps without the Windows operating system thanks to an open source project called WINE. Pretty cool. No viruses, no spyware, no Microsoft. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
