I've read a few repeat postings myself.... but it's not been from one specific person. Can't say that I know why it's happened because it's not been until here lately that I've ever dealt with it... and don't know what to do about it either. You find out Colleen I'd appreciate you posting the why & how to fix... or e-mail me directly. As always well walking 2 ya~

Thanks, Maxine I really appreciate your concern but I use a Mac. The reason no

one else

gets the multiple posts is that most of you get the posts through your email. I

don't. I

come to the group site to read and respond to the posts.

has been acting up on the site. Whenever I click to read a message, it

will tell me

that the archived messages cannot be displayed. When I finally get to read the

message

and respond to it, the same thing happens. After trying several times, the

message is

finally sent. In the meantime, has recorded and sent that message several

times.

I hope this makes sense to you. Reading the messages at site and getting them in

emails

is totally different.

Thanks for the thought, but I don't use anything Microsoft.

I love my Mac also. I have been using computers since 1993 when DOS was the

operating

system. I went through 4 computers using Microsoft, had 3 hard drives infected

and

burned up and finally smartened up and switched to Apple. I have never had my

Mac so

much as freeze up on me. No viruses, no pop-up windows, just good smooth usage.

I will never go back to microsoft. I don't have anything made by microsoft on my

Mac. In

12 years of usage, I have never had such good experiences as I have since I

switched.

---I too read the messages at the site. I tried getting digests

years ago and it was just too much mail in my email.

I know I often get a message that says " TOTAL JOINT REPLACEMENT

BOARD IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. " So I just leave and come back

later. I don't notice this so much on other boards either, Once in

a while, but not often.

I know, gets really weird at times. Have a good day. .....

Arianne.

You are correct that Microsoft is not to blame for ALL computer problems and

glitches,

they have set their OS up to be so proprietary that it in itself causes problems

with other

programs, and knowingly so.

There is no reason to continue using the Gates Gaffe's just because you work

with clients

who are microsoft/windows hostages. Apple makes programs that are compatible

with

windows programs. They also have Microsoft Office for Mac which is cross

compatible with

windows. I don't use them myself, but know those who do.

My husband primarily works from home in his business and I do all of the

advertising,

billing, take care of the books for tax purposes, etc. and have no problem using

my Mac to

do it. I do have a windows XP pro computer sitting on another desk that I turned

off

because I can't stand to use it since I bought my Mac. I am going to get a

MacMini that will

be usable with my windows keyboard and monitor. That way I will have both a

laptop and

desktop to work with.

If you would like the name of the programs that are made by Apple to be

compatible with

Windows, just give me a holler and I will send you the link.

I understand, . However, with regard to cost, it used to be that Apple

products

were much more expensive than their windows counterparts but that is not true

now. The

MacMini for example can be had for less than $600. The laptops are more than

some

windows laptops, but quality wise, a better bang for the buck.
