Ann, this is my experience as well. Yes, a time warp. Like Obba is experiencing, some posts come right through and others are delayed up to about 24 hours. Yes, some of my replies also end up in the spam box. I am on email now, so am not sure, for example, how many people may have replied to you already. Safari doesn't download conversationsjust says loading. and never completes. I created an email in gmail and downloaded Google Chrome which works much better for the website. But, for some reason, it doesn't read all of the links posted...says server not available and I have to switch back at some point, if I am interested in following up. Anyone know why this might be? Is it something to do with switching back and forth between browsers or cache or cookies? I'm basically in acceptance of the whole deal though so just put up with it or walk away from the computer and go do something else. Not such a bad idea.

By the way, off topic here, is anyone else finding it hard to access the conversations via the website? They simply sit there saying load, especially the longer threads, so I have to read all the posts via mail which means there is this tremendous lag time between when it appears via the web and when it gets to my mail box. On the other hand, some of my posts show up immediately via mail and some not at all. I found two my own replies to posts in my own spam mail box!! Maybe yahoo mail is trying to tell me something. Of course, I'm refusing to listen... From: cardemaister@... cardemaister@... To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, September 16, 2013 2:42 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Buying a Mac?

Like other have been saying too expensive for what's inside of them. Also probably no one has mentioned that Apple almost doesn't make Macs anymore. They are almost totally focused on the mobile market. I run Linux most of the time and have a Windows machine for when I have to.

The comment was made several days ago by tech analysts after the latest Apple schmoo which was about the new iPhone. How long has it been since new Macs have been announced? In fact the whole PC market is done these days as folks go for smartphones and tablets.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Buying a Mac?
Sounds like you are an Apple TB'er? Even Lawson isn't one of those anymore. Go figure. I don't go to Apple stores but being a tech stay on top of tech news. Apple stock even reported a loss last week. Larry Ellison of Oracle recently said that he expects Apple not to do so well that Jobs is gone because Jobs was a weird enough guy to make Apple work. You might see some new Macs but none have been announced recently. Another talk host I listen to who is an Apple fanboy has been complaining about no new Macs. He uses Macs to do his podcasts and radio show. Another thing that wouldn't surprise me is for Apple to release standard PC editions of their OS so people can dump Windows. Remember they did license the OS to third parties back in the 1990s but when Jobs took over again he stopped that. They are leaving some money on the table by not making the OS available for standard PCs. On 09/16/2013 12:01 PM, Michael Jackson wrote: How long?

Blathering about Apple where you aren't a tech is like blathering about tantra or mantra shastra when you know nothing about it. Did I say Apple products are inferior? No, but they are overpriced. In some cases I've even suggested that people get a Mac after they completely flubbed up their Windows machine. Apple Os's are designed to be toy like and hold your hand. Saves them some tech support costs but also limits extensibility. I also use Linux for most everything and though I have some Windows machines. Linux has a reputation for being too geek for the average public.
