I guess it is too much to expect that you would thank the people who tried to answer your question in this thread, instead of piling on with a sense of superiority over Mac users as a whole (with the familiar "present company excepted" type of cop-out.)
BJL: Mea Culpa it is not too much to expect thanks for the help that is offered gratutiouly.Also this whole post has only taken place over 25hrs 11min. and I have been doing other tasks and not on the computer except for one brief period.By the way my wife agrees that I was way off base but I meant no ill will nor was I talking about the superiority of one system over the other as both excel at their tasks.
Just that some aquantances have bought Macs thinking they would solve their incompetence maybe . I am truly sorry if I offended anyone as it was not my intention to do so. As far as feeling superior I know I have many failings and much to learn and that is why I frequent sites such as this
To Jeff again many thanks.
And you've never met an elderly Windows owner with similar problems? And why are you blaming Apple for something the reseller did wrong?
Seriously, what's the point of this, other than simple trolling?
I never blamed apple I think their marketing is better than coke's
Can you give me a definition of trolling so I can avoid it in future.
Wow, you might not be trying to but you're sure trolling.
The 'older citizens with not much computer knowledge' might have had just as much trouble moving up to a new PC. You have no way of knowing what their experience might have been with Windows 7.
Yes but in our town (small like me ) we have a seniors centre and offer computer (windows) classes to anyone for free we also have a local college which offers windows courses but no mac courses.
so help is available.
Again no slur intended
maybe I should quit. come on guys it is just my opinion and I am only one of 8 billion
