Yeah well said Jenni, I totally agree. I'd used WIndows,and a PC for a long time, and just got tired of it. I'd heard so many horror stories about Vista, and to be honest, I was tired of constantly having to pay every couple years to keep JAWS updated. I've been using macs now, since a little over two years ago now, and I totally love both the macs I have here. Got an iMac in February of 2007, and a MacBook in November of last year, and I would never go back to Windows, unless i really, really had to. And the apple Time Capsule, is another totally awesome piece of hardware as well. On May 25, 2009, at 3:36 PM, Jenny Kennedy (Howard) wrote:
