My Hewlett @ss Packart (yes that language is necessary). Is acting up again. It's having the same problems it did last year. Last Summer it took HP 3 months to fix it (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) . I'm going to see if I can get them to replace it-they refused to do that last time. In the mean time my internet access might be limited. Of course it's not as if we need a huge team of moderators. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Needless to say-I'm building my next computer.

It's got Mac OS9 which I swear is just like windows 3.0 or 3.11. It's so hard to use when you're used to windows '95 style/xp. I don't know how these computers are considered easier to use.

They are only considered easier by those who are too lazy or stubborn to learn anything else. Mac's may have had their place at one time but that time is loooong past.

Anyhow although the old Mac OS is pretty primitive but it does have one nice feature, being able to boot off the system CD with full network access even if the hard drive is totally hosed. It also has built in support for imaging (sort of).

OSX is MUCH nicer looking and more stable than OS 9 but I definately prefer Win2k/XP when it comes down to getting stuff done. Plus Apple is practically forcing everyone to shell out $150 a year if they want to stay current (i.e Jaguar, Panther, Tiger).
