What I meant was they seem to have changed their focus from "personalization" to "specialization"... and dropping a lot of the flexibility previously available in Windows O/S.
Thanks, Phil. I hate to give up, because I know this isn't the only brand laptop having this problem.
Brief reply, because we are seriously off-topic here : 1) Don't give up with Win/7. I HATED it when I first tried it on others' machines, and found myself saying over and over again "Sorry, can't help you : no idea where they have hidden that in Win/7". BUT, once I got it for myself, disabled Aero, made it look as much like XP as possible, and finally came to grips with the crazy Explorer that has ditched an "Up" button, I began to see that it was not as bad as I thought. With XP having a shelf-life of about eighteen months now, I am no longer terrified at the idea of having to upgrade all my machines to Win/7, and I really /do/ like the idea of running multiple VMs so that a virus in one cannot affect the others (i.e., keep one VM for secure transactions, one for general surfing, one for risky stuff), and use the base Win/7 64-bit platform only for non-networking activities. 2) Don't give up with your new Gateway : we're all rooting for you ! ** Phil. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
