Hi Jackie As the list owner, I can confirm that I am very happy with the way this discussion has panned out. This is what the group is here for. We always encourage civilised mature discussion which is precisely what is happening.
As a devotee of ioS, OS X and everything Apple, I do acknowledge that there are times when Apple's products just are not in the ball park. However, as others have so rightly said, if you're prepared to spend a little time on things, there are frequently work-arounds. Naturally, we don't want detailed discussion of Microsoft and other alien products on this list, that's why we also run Techno Chat, a fee-for-all discussion group of everything technology has to offer. We try to kind of keep Apple's products off that list because it would be kind of like defeating the object. Feel free, if you haven't already done so, to join Techno Chat which you may do by: 1.
