Hi again all,  I know that my last post was several days ago, BUT, having just gotten a new laptop that came with (( gulp )) VISTA, I HAVE experienced some delays in my productivity.  For that, I must apologize.

Shall we say that my recommendation is that if you have to get a new pc, that you should NOT get one with Vista?  lol....... looking back on it, if I was going to go through a wicked, time intensive learning curve with a new OS, I would have chosen a MAC. 

Why?

Less viruses, for one thing, more people use Microsoft, so that is where all the hackers go, and the other is that NONE of my programs are 'Vista Compliant'.   (Hello, Bill Gates are you out there???!!)

 oh yes, I can spend about $1500. to upgrade all my programs and PRAY they will work (no guarantees there from the powers that be!)  but WHAT good does that DO ME?

SIGH...........

SO, WHEN I overcome these issues, I'll be baaaack!  For now, I can only say that XP is out the door for support in the near future, so if YOU ARE looking for a new PC, check on a MAC! 

MORE NEWS AT 11:00 pending the working of VISTA (HP - ARE YOU OUT THERE?!
