Hi everyone!
I first have to say I have not used the forums for a very long time & don't know why...it's the best ,even better than the forums on Apple support.
but I will say there are some really SMART SMART people here! way beyond my knowledge of Mac and I have only used a Mac since forever...I think the first one was the small screen and just a little keyboard..well now I have a brand new iMac cause my FIRST LEMON was the last iMac and man o man it was a lemon...the support was, they reinstalled the software and handed me back the computer...NO that's not fixing it, I could have done that at home and saved cab fare back & forth!...but LION is proving to be something I can not make my mind up one way or the other..all I know is ..I just opened System Preferences to change my screen saver(HOW COOL ARE THE SCREEN SAVERS!!) but it crashed!..a brand new computer crashing and I am not running any other apps except this Firefox...but it has also crashed in iTunes...I have documented and will call..but I do keep my iTunes on a hard drive..one of six now..cause I back up the back ups...I learned the HARD way with that last computer..and still all my music is not here but I have access to it cause I gave it all to my best friend...and that's over 500 cds...I love music of all kinds..anyway I know this is not the correct place to write this but I will say something about working on a Windows computer..for me, it's almost impossible cause I have no clue where everything is and I am pretty good with computers..I would give myself a grade of B+ in knowledge , people come to me when they have a problem..but my neighbor has a nice laptop and Windows and when she asks me to do something, I am all flustered..can not find anything and I don't want to be bothered, when this is so much easier for ME and everyone!...I have been on the Apple "team" for so many years.I remember a friend bought Apple STOCK shares way back and he was going to sell. I said hold on to them, you never know..I lost contact ,he's probably a millionaire by now!...but Windows and me, do not and will not ever go together...and I do not like laptops, I work mainly on a desktop..I guess old habits(and if in bed,iTouch)..but I have the LEMON next to me and will use it as an extra monitor, thinking of putting it next to my bed ,Bose speakers, to look at movies..cause it's even nice looking from the behind..my favorite all time Apple computer I gave her, my next door neighbor has..it was the one with the swivel screen and a base for the hard drive in the shape of a half a EGG..the best computer,never gave me any problems that I could not solve...so I will end in saying..you need to try both computers out..walk into an Apple store..they let you try everything now or if you do not have one near, any computer store..but also try one that has Windows and you'll immediately see the difference.For us old folks, we have traveled the long road to a beautiful OS..I just looked at some of the screen savers and MAN O MAN, they are breathtaking...but I have to solve the problem of crashing here...I have ALL my memory slots filled when I bought, so it used to be a memory issue but can't be that now.
Cheers..
