Win8 does suck. Might as well get a Mac
Looked at that, I have a Dell now so if I went to Mac, I would have to buy a whole new system plus 100.00 dollars to get windows 7 loaded on it. Don't know if I should try to ride it out until Win 9 is available.Quote:

She could've been talking about both
Thanks for the info. I thought Mac made all of it's accessories.Quote:

In 20 years I've had one hardware problem. And now there is great software available (Parallels) if you need to run Windows on your Mac.Quote:

It asks if I want to upgrade so and so, about once a month, maybe. If I tell it not now, it actually obeys!!!
You will no longer get updates for XP such as security updates!If your computer has enough memory load 7 or 8.
I got the problem solved or just jumped in to another one. Went and bought a new Mac and did not load Windows 7 on it. It's a little scary. Everything including the tower is built into the monitor that is less than 1/2 inch thick. I got 3 pieces, a monitor, mouse and keyboard. All wireless. Crossing my fingers.
Takes a bit to get used to but well worth the time.
If I upgrade it will be a Mac. Bought my daughter a Mac Laptop when she started college. Been using it 5 years and only problem was battery died after 4 years.
Sounds like you got yourself an iMac, stormcloud. Congratulations. I'm on my second, the first lasted 9 years. If you do not need to run Windows-only applications, then you won't need Windows 7.
At work on mac products our it wipes the system and installs windows :)
Of course they do. Job preservation.Quote:
