Re: OT..Sorry..Help w/ 10.2.6 Mail

I'm with you on this one, Clyde. I've been putting off installing 10.2 because I didn't want to learn a new system. But then I got a work computer that has 10 on it, and it's been an easier transition than I thought. Most things work very much like OS 9. And X leads you through configurations l

Alex, OS X is a great OS. Bear with it, you have to climb the learning curve which fortunately is neither steep nor long. It is so much better than 9, Windows or Linux! As for Safari, it is fast and generally works well. Sometimes it has troubles with certain sites, but every web browser d
