    Isn't that so true!! I never even open e-mails I don't recognize. I'm glad I have a MAC here.

    Hee hee - Randi, were you a dedicated Mac person all along, or did Jonza, being a graphics guy, convert you? We love our Macs!

    LOL! Karen, I've always liked Mac's, but since I've been working mostly on PC's - as they use them everywhere out there in the offices, I've had to adjust. But, I was using Mac's long before Microsoft copied Apple's interface.

    I'm not sure I remember this right, but I think the first Mac John had was an LC back in 86.

    However, being as conservative as I am, I preferred OS9 to this OSX I have now. Wish I had got more into it before he died. Still, I prefer to be on this to my PC!

    Karen and Randi,
    I join your "Mac Fans" Club. My first computer, many, many years ago, was a humble Apple IIC Plus. My current one, seven years old, is a G3 with OS 9.2.
    For as long as I can keep on doing all the graphic design I need to do, this very trusted machine will stay with me.
    I wouldn't touch a PC. Microsoft is so petty that because I don't use their platform, or MSN, they won't let me post photos, or even do a direct link, in another board.
