Linux and Mac and Solaris are just as buggy as Windows.

Sorry, I mistook one of your posts to mean that you were into Linux.

I am not eager to learn another operating system. I have been through too many already since I first took up the challenge and blessing of personal computers 20 years ago.

I know a couple of Linux geeks but it seems very complicated. I can't see where it will benefit me to learn this new system.

Solaris is something that I am blissfully unaware of.

I am familiar with Macs from work. They are OK for the office, but I would not have one in my home.:)

Still, I say that if another manufactorer gave me software (windows based?) that did what I wanted it to do and had MicroSoft(TM) file compatability, I would buy it with my hard earned dollars.

My major gripe with MicroSoft(TM)is the versions of Word after Office 97.

You put a picture and some text here. You do a save and everything is automatically reformatted without so much as a 'by-your-leave-sir'.

Dammit! I am supposed to be the boss, not the software.

Ah, Ok. I understand. Have you ever tried Adobe Acrobat?
