Thank you so much for all your helpful ideas.
I’m writing them down while I still have a link to all of you.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it.
Thank you.
If all you want to do is turn on the computer and use it, get a Mac.
A ran PCs for about 20 yrs. Finally got tired of having to fix, maintain, finagle mine and wife’s computer.
Bought a Mac laptop in 2007. WOW
Liked simply turning it on and using without all the other stuff. I bought a Mac desktop in 2009 and one for my wife in 2010.
Never a Blue Screen of Death, practically no maintenance, no anti-virus(yet).
About as troublefree as you can get.
And they come with all the software you need. Very little that you have to fetch to do everything you want to do.
The photo program,iPhoto, is IMO the best for the average user.
Macs have won me over.
