I’m speaking strictly about what was depicted in the film.

You haven’t listed seven steps to open an email attachment. When I get a pdf attachment I either save it to the desktop and open it later or I click on the pdf icon in the text box and Acrobat Reader opens it. Same with a jpeg or gif, except they frequently appear in the text box when the email is opened, no clicking required (only if I want to save to the desktop). Don’t know what WMP is, and nothing is downloaded to preview. You do appear to have the only Mac that doesn’t work right.

Gee, I’m the opposite of what they say I should be, and we’ve got 4 Macs and 5 iPods!

Only a lib company with lib users would do something like that.
No, only a GOOD company would do something like that. Nothing quite like the iPhone existed at the time it was released, so there was no market to base the price. Apple realized they made a mistake, and corrected it.

Thank you - that may have been what was going on.

I might just have to do that. That’s how I taught myself to use a computer back in 1998. I’’d never turned one on prior to that.

You had to have been there....

I know this woman lawyer who switched who office over to macs because they go with the decor better. literally.
Then again she is mostly wordprocessing and bookkeeping. No intensive power usage.
Marketing is fun.

XP was the final perfection to all that fiddling in 95, 98 and 2000.Actually, XP is NT 6.0. Win2K definitely shows itself as NT5 in the folders.
I've used NT since 4.0 and never had any of the problems people complain about with 95, 98 and ME.

Well, you seem very passionate about your Mac. The point I was making earlier was that for software pusposes, Mac is usually limited when compared to PC due to the number of developers.
To: Galena Nevada
Dont compare Vista to Mac OS. Vista sucks. Ouch. Read my post again. I did not compare Vista to Mac OS. The person I quoted (in italics) did.

Would you decide you don't want the Mona Lisa because someone drew a stick figure? Microsoft tried to emulate a Mac and failed miserably. It was just an flippant quip. Gee, you Mac users are not only "snobby" but touchy, too.

WMP is Windows Media Player which is needed to open attachment of WMV Windows Media Video.
To: HAL9000
I have downloaded WMP for Mac though it took 2 tries and I had to download something called Suffit to make it work, and it took 3-4 tries to get that to open and work right.

“When it doesn’t run like Windows you blame it.”
Let’s shorten that to “when it doesn’t run”
To: redangus
Yes, Microsoft used an inconvenient archive format to package their software - the old StuffIt format. I’m glad you got past that, and hope your videos will work correctly now.
