Not enough market share. Linux is an even better choice if you want to use an OS for which few hackers bother to write mal-ware. Apple isn't an option for me at work, because I use too much software (and hardware) that won't run on a Mac.
I have heard just the opposite on Mac. One lady on this board could not make a paragraph at all until someone told her about the html. She had to use it at the end of every paragraph. It may be the amount of your expertise. I do not have much,but am learning

I have no choice but to use the Microsoft OS. That said, MS has quite obviously engaged in planned obsolescence in their software products for several years now. It's their only available strategy for maintaining sales volume. That is why newer versions of Microsoft Office create files that can't be opened by older versions of the software -- unless you convert the files, free of charge, on an independent website.

What would we do without Sons as Computer experts. He is busy fixing mine and my Grandson is always screwing something up. He will not touch his MIL's because another SIL fixes it for her and then she cannot get it to do anything. He said he would not touch it because he had no idea what was done.
))Yes Mary, Sons are a blessing in many ways but I mostly figure it out myself, since he is in Florida. When I first went on the internet many moons ago, he said 'ask' and I did some of the time but I am like a man who won't ask directions. LOL I'm having no problem at all and my computer runs like the speed of light, it's only me that is slowing down.What would we do without Sons as Computer experts.

He was not happy I called a computer guy but was so busy working he could not get here. But the Computer guy just got rid of it all,except my email addresses.. Said he could take it home and save all.
I have most of my pictures on CD,only lost a few and favorites. That was too full any way. Much like a closet.
One woman I know has 80,000 pictures of her Grandchildren on her computer.Her SIL found that out when working on it
What problem are you having now? We have computer experts on the board. Many have helped me over the years. Some,I still cannot do.
I have so many graphics it's a wonder it doesn't burst but I clean out daily chatter every night.
Yeah, got my 17 year old an Macbook Pro and no issues with it either. Once you go Mac, you'll never go back!Friends of mine purchashed a Mac for each of their kids before they left for college. No problems with Mac, just cars.
See, the thing is, your browser will already do all of that without Google Tool Bar©. You just have to learn how to tweak your settings. Auto-fill is an option for IE. You can download ieSpell for free, and it is a clean spell-check program for IE. Opera (and, I think, Firefox) both have spell-check built into the browser. I don't know if the newest version of IE does. I don't use it anymore. I don't trust Google nearly as much as I use to either. I will say that the Yahoo tool-bar is even crappier software than the Google version. Neither of them is easy to completely un-install, once you've been "infected".
Thanks, Nightswimmer for your helpful advice. My Son and Computer guy said the same thing. That is what slows your computer down.
