Make sure the ISP supports MacOS if that's the route you want to go. Historically BellSouth and Time Warner did not, though resellers (Earthlink for example) did. I gave up on ISP mail long ago, now I use Google Apps for Domains and keep my domain primarily for that.
I like my wife's Mac; despite being such a young nix distribution OSX is almost as good as RHEL. Kind of short on hardware support though. :) -Tim -----Original Message----- From: "archer" <arche...@embarqmail.com> Date: Sunday, Jan 11, 2009 6:30 am Subject: [MBZ] OT: ISP doesn't support Linux To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <mercedes@okiebenz.com>Reply-To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Had to call ISP support tonight because !#$%^&*# WinXP quit receiving email even though it could send email. Support guy did all the checking and I did all the reloading and he finally said he didn't know why; that it might be some of the repair work they were doing at the ISP although it shouldn't. Asked him if embarqmail supported Ubuntu and he said they didn't support any Linux distros because there were too many. (Embarqmail is the only DSL we can get out here in the woods.) Therefore, I'm thinking about a Mac. Can someone tell me where I can find a used Mac laptop and desktop that will download Utube moderately fast, do email, etc.; and that a monitor, keyboard, and external mouse can be hooked up to? >Thanks, >Gerry >-------------- next part -------------- >An HTML attachment was scrubbed... >URL: ><http://okiebenz.com/pipermail/mercedes_okiebenz.com/attachments/20090111/b106d9aa/attachment.html> >-------------- next part -------------- > >No virus found in this outgoing message. >Checked by AVG - http://www.avg.com >Version: 8.0.176 / Virus Database: 270.10.5/1886 - Release Date: 1/10/2009 >6:01 PM >_______________________________________ >http://www.okiebenz.com >For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com >To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > >To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: >http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
