[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [qb] I never understand how some people end up reinstalling Windows once a month. If they hacked systems for a living, sure, but normal people who aren't idiots? Don't get it. [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm going to trust that you aren't intimating that my father is an idiot, Liam. This is the man who wire-wrapped all the (literal) bread-board components of the first computer I ever used. He programmed some early SC/MP tic-tac-toe games (in assembly code on the freakin' teletype). A fault may have been he was a little too trusting and perhaps as a result of his earlier experience, perhaps not as interested in the nuts and bolts of the inner-workings of his latest machine. He had been using IE more or less exclusively until very recently. Also AOL. The re-installs were at the insistence of tech-support from Intego, McAffe, AOL and the TurboTax guys. Basically any time he tried upgrading his software his Dell machine started giving him major hassle. I don't understand it. I never had as many issues with my PC they way he and my mother did. But then I don't think it makes you an idiot to want things to work properly and to assume that when you download an upgrade, that it will make your computer work better instead of, say, worse. He's gonna like that 20" iMac G5. Powerbook G5. W0ot! I just hope they will have worked out some better heat dissipation. Even my Pismo G3/400 can get uncomfortably hot without proper ventilation. But, so, yeah, it's time to upgrade. Congratulations again on the job. Finally you'll get paid for your Mac evangelism! [/QB][/QUOTE]
