Elizbo, you live in the same city as I do, so your defection alarms me. Emily, sigh! One day, one day... Haven, there’s hope for you.

I know my way around the PC so well. I'm not sure I'm ready to face the switch. I’m afraid of Mac. I know my way around the PC so well. I’m not sure I’m ready to face the switch.

I couldn't take another Windows change. I know, I know, Macs OS software changes as well, but oy! Windows! I just couldn't do it. Just the word Vista sent me out of my PC world and into a Mac.

You *have* to upgrade to Vista. Ha. Like I would say otherwise?! Ahem, Abi and Haven. You *have* to upgrade to Vista. Ha. Like I would say otherwise?!

But it's also frustrating when some people view websites on really old systems and then wonder why everything looks whacky. We have about 7 PCs in the house and they all have difference versions of Windows. But what really gets me is when people don't upgrade their IE or other browser. Sometimes this can make a huge difference in how a site will look. And I could go on and on about upgrading my photo editing tools. There are some that, in my opinion, are perfect and should never change but they still end up with a newer version. *sigh* I'll even tell on myself... I have a desktop here that still performs perfectly but only has 10mg harddrive and is over 10 years old. I'm rather shocked it will even boot anymore haha. A huge secret hidden deeply within my closet... a CLASSIC WebTv! Scary isn't it. Abi, I'm not looking forward to the Vista switch either. I've heard too many horror stories about it.

It had all the features I might EVER use and never crashed. And, I knew all the tricks! I now use Word 2004 for Mac and am a relative amateur. As Dire Straits once sung: I want my... I want my...

I prefer version 2 of anything to version 1. My PDA is ten years old. As far as I'm concerned it still syncs to the latest Outlook and if I update anything on it or on the computer, the syncing is flawless. Why move to something else with its inherent downtime when I have a functional system that I'm comfortable with? Besides, thanks to it, I have found two crashing bugs in shipped Office software that my husband had to then go in and put in their bug tracking software so that it got fixed in one of their SP releases and next version releases.
