    Don, Macs are not to much different than Windows PCs when it comes to hacking or stealing files from you computer. If sharing is turned on your Mac your files will be visible to Macs and Windows computers. Turn sharing off and make sure you have a password set to prevent connecting just in...

    Anyone Own a HHR?

    Yup! Still going strong. Like I said about the car, They don't make'em like they used too. Even in PS3s'

    Anyone Own a HHR?

    I install tow hitches here at the business and do 8-10 a month. I did an HHR a few weeks ago and was shocked (compared to other cars and trucks I have done) at how thin the frame was when drilling to install the hitch. Like a hot knife in butter, really. If it were mine I might worry about how...

    Windows Vista Experience

    Windows Vista Experience

    All good points Ocnier. If Microsoft had made the first PC before Apple did it might be a different world. If Jobs would kick some of his ways it sure would help Apple out. I see Apple computers are now at Best Buy and Circuit City. Just as Dell is now at Wally World. The market has changed so...

    Windows Vista Experience

    Diogen, As you see in my second post I use Both a PC and a Mac. On my Mac I have XP media center. Your quote seems a bit harsh to tell some that recommended a PC for some people and a Mac for other folks; some of whom already show interest in one. I could justify that had I said " Buy a Mac...

    Windows Vista Experience

    When I posted that the Mac seemed at the time to run vista better than a PC I was hoping it would not start a PC vs Mac war; I'm glad to see it did not. I have been a PC user pre Windows 95 era. Windows for me was always kinda of a hit and miss OS. Sure a new OS is going to have problems; I Feel...

    Considering a Mac questions...

    I made the jump about 6 months ago from the PC to a Mac. Vista was the main reason for the change. It is the worst OS I have ever used. micro$oft needs a new OS built from the ground up; not to keep adding to Windows 95. I got the 24'' Imac. Had it for a month and a half before the new model...
