How the heck do you type on that keyboard with the monitor broken like that? Don’t you get a crik in yer neck?

At Thanksgiving, my SIL was lamenting the issues she’s having with her new DELL. Spyware and virus ware won’t run, Norten, McAffee etc. She’s been on the fone with Dell support for hours, she says, and they still can’t tell how to get that software working at the same time she’s trying to get on the InterWeb...

I sat there at the table for fifteen minutes and finally said, “Get a Mac” and you won’t have these problems...LOL!

Mac user for over three years now without using any virus or malware protection except my router firewall...

My point exactly. You guys don't even know what a tablet PC is!

Those aren't problems with Dell; those are problems with Windows.

Granted, it probably came with the machine...although Dell does offer Ubuntu preloaded on some machines.

Same here. I've had Macs for at least 10 years. I'm not a techno-geek. I leave that to my son. All I know is that my Macs work well without any trips to the repair shop. The one thing that's clearly missing from Free Republic are threads by Mac users requesting help. I wish I had a dollar for every thread from a PC user. I'd be rich!
