You are replying to a post of mine where I am pointing to two of your errors and then you say I missed those errors? What are you on about? Two different errors ... So you made four errors? I don't see the difference, quoted above. Mine are labeled 1 and 2, they concern who wrote the post and the date of the post. Below are your stated errors, which apart from containing another error (it was the 28th, ... Look at the message header. ... not the 27th) are in relation to the same two errors you made. I just don't understand why you would reply to my post and outline the same errors again? Where you already admitted to your mistake - without trying to make it seem like I had "missed" something. I told you my news group files were in a mess. BUt you still replied to the same post twice. And you still repeated the summary of the errors in the post you were replying to. Something is in a mess here... And I've just received 40 'new' articles about the best way to index photographs - dating from the middle of August. If you don't realise its not really new its quite easy to respond to an article a second time. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

For more than twenty years my skin has been periodically sprouting relatively harmless skin cancers (basal and squamous cell carcinomas (BCC and SCC)). These have had to have been removed by various surgical techniques. More recently my legs below the knee have been sprouting them like daisies in a lawn. Cryosurgery (blasting them with liquid nitrogen) has dealt with many but periodically one gets to the stage where it has to be cut out. Several of these have required skin grafts which initially lay me up for weeks at a time and subsequently limit my mobility for several more weeks. I'm due for another bout of leg surgery in a week. I expect that in some three months they will switch their attention from my right leg to my left .... :-( The surgery the other week was the removal of a BCC from my nose. I have another one to remove, probably after Christmas. Not only do I have the wrong kind of skin but I spent too much of my youth working in the sun. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

I had my right parotid gland removed, in April of 1992. It contained a tumor and I needed follow-up radiation treatment; the cancer hasn't returned, fortunately. John |

So far, mine have been much less hazardous than that. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

No screws on HDD either. I will replace the CPU at one point, mine is an i3. DanP |

Some people like the ability to add new memory. What's Apple charging these days, $500 a gig? I have looked at building a system capable of running OSX, search for Hackintosh. Some configurations cost close to what Apple charge for the equivalent. If you want a top end laptop to match one of Apple's it will cost you the same. DanP |

And tht you have the correct drivers. I don't know whch you may need, but I think those are items to be checked out. -- PeterN |

If you want a top end laptop to match one of Apple's it will cost you the same. DanP Actually, I just checked the most common iMac configuration, and it's $25 per gig. It's high-ish; always has been. But not a deal-breaker. Yes, it would be nice if the computers were more configurable, but given the target market, again not a deal breaker. Some time ago, I set out to buy or configure a Windows computer the equivalent in quality and configuration of the "expensive" $2500 MacPro. I quickly discovered it wasn't possible. Even as simple as the case simply couldn't be purchased at any price. Internal components were easier, but to duplicate the same features made the price really ratchet up. When I was done... I'd spent the $2500. Adding software to match the bundled stuff from Apple would have pushed it well past. In laptops, I have a small but steady stream of customers who purchase MacBook Pro's and run Windows on them. They need some piece of Windows-specific software, but want the build quality and performance of the Apple product. And, using software supplied by Apple, they can dual-boot: Hold down a key to select which OS you want to boot. Best of both worlds! |
