| 575707 | 2007-08-03 10:50:00 | Probably when Windows cornered the market. OK. You realised that Windows cornered the MARKET. May I ask what year did you notice this? I was infected with the "stoned" virus while running a 386 system. This while driving a tow truck in Australia. I used to do all jobs and enter on my computer and transfer the data via floppy 3.5" to my boss. He would fill in fields and returned floppy and that is what I got paid. Unfortunately I rebooted my system with his returned floppy. Wrong decision! I was able to fix it though. A number of years ago people thought the earth was flat. I think that theory has fallen flat. If you can PROVE to me that a Personal Computer from any manufacturer can make me more productive then I may learn. Then I need to learn a new O/S I think. Then I buy applications to actually do something. Now you may be correct in so far as the majority was proven wrong when certain people sailed or circumnavigate this planet we live on. Keep pushing it. You may be correct. |

You appear to live in Auckland with a view of a place in North America. Does a Mac come with a webcam or have you a very large telescope which overcomes horizon difficulties? |

All of a sudden all your hard work would end up in pile at the bottom of the document , often referred to as Alphabet Soup. |
