There is no way to improve my experience. I turn on OE...it works. I turn on my Firefox browser...it works. Same with the business applications. All of them work beautifully. The only reasons I will change is to take advantage of a larger HD, memory, and co-processor speed. But....the stability of this platform cannot be improved....just duplicated.

In my biz, you would be an agent, not a broker. Agents work for a particular company. Brokers work for their clients, representing several companies, without bias. -Greg

Oh come on, Greg... Even you don't believe what you just said. It was the semantic equivalent of saying "my computer is perfect", that should you update the OS or application, there will be not a single thing where you can say "Hey! This works better than it did in the old version". Is that really what you want to go with? > > > Well will you admit that the same hold true for the huge investment in > > time it takes for someone to get truly fluent with using Windows? > > Yes....because their experience is subjective!!!!!

I don't know that the other office down the road has zero problems. What I do know is that the Macs don't have a problem and the Windows users are completely unsurprised that they do. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia <http://gallery.me.com/alangbaker/100008/DSCF0162/web.jpg>
