RE: Macs! What are they again??
Ah, useful comments at last!
I didn't know there were such problems with IE (I only use it cos its free, not out of
mis-placed loyalty to old Bill). I'll take your advice and find the progs mentioned.
Trouble is, I supplement the earning from three afternoons of music teaching by
designing web-sites with the missus. Even Safari (e-mac) requires fiddling with to
display a site as intended. Netscape renders sites differently again. I wonder how
Mozilla will do? Is IE still the most common? Or is there nothing in it these days?
Seems the gist of what you're all saying is don't surf with the music machine.
What a sad world we sit in. A bloke at work has offered an old PC for surfing, so I'll
set that up, install the AV etc stuff, check the backup cds for nasties, then I can
continue with the noises.
dARKSTATe, what's wrong with SP2? I've not even seen it yet. I've just updated
from 98 to Xp at work, so I've no intention of going through that again if at all
possible. But should the bloke in a white coat appear with a disk, what rational
reason can I give him to send him away without upgrading the os? Oh, and I hope
'flatten the box' was figurative
I've downloaded the videos for installing xp, which are a great idea if a little out of
focus. For folkes like me who balk at words like BIOS its really useful to be able to
see the screen as the install happens. No jargon needed. A big thanks to whoever
took the time to do that
