To me, it looks like the game is played: Buy MS OS--whatever the latest
version. Use all MS products on it (browsers, email programs,
Office). Repeat about every 3 years.
I'm not sure this is a fair analysis, Sue. As I mentioned earlier, I'm still
using, with Vista, software that was
How many horses is enough for Vista to run well? Which version of Vista?
Well, I'm running Vista Ultimate with an Intel Core2 (dual processor) at
2.4GHz and 2GB of RAM. Not exactly top-of-the-line stuff any more...

And it's certainly more secure.

How do you know for sure?
My impression of improved security is tighter digital rights management
and IT's tighter control over what the user can do (in a corporate
environment).
I've never had an infection and my Windows 2000 is still running fine.
I just migrated my parents (late 70's, early 80's) from their 10-year
old, first edition iMac to the latest model iMac. Yes, they are
learning OS X 10.5 after using OS 8.6. That said, I told them not to
buy any software, but to download Firefox and OpenOffice. The free,
open-source software is
I ran the upgrade adviser and it shows only 15 of my applications won't
work with Vista -- better than I had expected. There were no device
problems except for Bluetooth which won't work with Vista.
I'm surprised that there were that many. That was certainly not my own
experience. When you
Heh, I still have an old road apple- Performa 6300 in basement that
maxes out at os9.2. My G3 stopped doing anything a few months ago.
My guess is a power supply but I haven't been motivated enough to find
one. I haven't fired up the Mac Plus in ages but it worked the last
time I tried. IMS
In Firefox 3, is there any way to get back to the classic view of
manage/organize bookmarks, i.e., the tree view? Now folders are shown
in-line (vertically) with individual bookmarks, and if you open a folder, you
lose the view of everything else but what is in the folder. Aside from the
I just installed Firefox 3 yesterday.
Bookmarks - Organize Bookmarks opens up a window with the tree view on the
left, the contents of the currently selected folder in the upper right, and
the properties of the selected bookmark in the lower right.
In other words, a three panel view, a lot like

OK, I've got it now. Seems a waste to have that properties dialog open all the
time. Takes up real estate that could be used for additional lines of listing.
But as long as I can edit the name of the bookmark, I'm ok.
Thanks,

On Wed,
I just noticed I can delete a bookmark from the drop menu and the menu

Well, you're not going to be able to make a phone call (other
than a VOIP call) over a data only T1. It depends on how your
T1 is designed. I consider T1 to be too broad a term for
specific use. It's really a descriptor of an interface level, not an
application level.
Is VOIP a sane option
Thanks for that info, Tom. It sounds like Apple has decided to play the
game too. Can you imagine a market share if someone ever decided to build
a good machine and support it for more than a few years?
Strange stories this week at Macintouch.com of salesfolk at the Apple
Store downselling.
Is VOIP a sane option today? I see if offered by various startup
companies for free. Is there a reliable version that can be used by
someone who depends on their telephones working?
I would characterize it as a developing technology.
It is certainly where the carriers want to go because
