Actually the turning off was referring I guess to how long it was since I did use Macs at the college. At that time other computers had power switches to turn them off. Sorry I should have ommitted that comment.

Obviously Avid haven't updated their software to work yet on the latest Macs. << I laughed and laughed cause he is always telling me how easy Macs are to install software and hardware >> I've never found installing software much trouble on either platform. What is much easier on the Mac is UNinstalling software. You just drag the program's folder to the Trash and, poof, it's gone. No uninstaller or "add/remove programs" nonsense. << c) whenever I do use a Mac I can never figure out how to turn them off. >> Is this a joke? You click on the Apple menu and then choose "Shut Down". Not too difficult. In fact, virtually identical to the way it works on a Windows PC, just using the Apple menu rather than the Start menu. (The Apple menu is the little Apple logo that is permanently in the top left corner of the display in every version of Mac OS since 1984.) Of course, there are valid reasons for using Windows, but I don't think not being able to figure out how to shut down a Mac is one of them... Obviously you don't like Macs much but really, don't knock them - they DO have their advantages. As for it being "just a computer"... If you use the computer as much as I do, it's a lot more than "just" ;-)... New Doug -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
