Hi Donna I've not played with Facebook on a PC since June 2009. When I switched to the Mac I wanted to make a clean break from Windows so when given the option I declined to have a part of my Mac set up with Windows as many people do. My reasoning was I wanted to completely leave the trojen horses and viruses which almost wiped out my decades worth of screenplays, theatre pieces, stories behind. Although, now I read the listeres here and I wonder if I should have done as so many do. Is it too late to put Windows on my Mac? Although I don't miss the headaches of worrying about updating my virus protection, I kind of do miss some aspects of windows.
