Hmm. I think this computer has been running without a crash since about 6 months after I started Skyport. A couple of times I decided to reboot only because a non-Microsoft application decided to hose things up. After I got it to close everything appeared to be OK, but I rebooted anyhow to be safe. Now I use Outlook, a technically inferior application, but it doesn't hose up the system. Why would Apple want to be able to boot up in Windows? ;) John Cooper, A&P Skyport Services PO Box 249 4996 Delaware Tnpk Rensselaerville, NY 12147 518 797-3064 Fax 518 797-3865 www.skyportservices.net Even as I type this, I expect my computer to (again)"crash" with the error message "Windows will now shut down. It is MSNs fault. I purchased and used various low-end PCs over the past 10 years, e.g., COMPPAQ, DELL, e-SYSTEMS. I have had troubles with WIN 95, WIN 98 and WIN XP. Even as I type this, I expect my computer to (again)"crash" with the error message "Windows will now shut down. It is MSNs fault. We have no current solution for the problem". I have cleaned out all misc, files and folders, and I have plenty of memory. Sure, my inexpertise could be a factor. However, the plethora of pro -MAC inputs on this site have me leaning to buying a MAC rather than "upgrading " to VISTA. One lengthy and interesting input (Off-Line) from our Coupe Guru William Bayne is particularly succinct; starts with>>>Hi Don, Get a Mac! Be years ahead of features not yet copied by Microsoft from Apple, and you can boot in WINDOWS...<<<. I don't have his permission to reproduces his e-mail, but have forwarded it (Off Line) to Ed Burkhead, another of Bill's friend. It is reassuring that Bill still follows our Couper sites. BTW, another continuing computer problem over the years was with NORTON/SYMANTEC - increasingly expensive; nonresponsive,absolutely impossible to deal with them! Upon advice from a local repair shop I switched to AVG FREE six months ago and have had no virus or related problems since.
