That's great for Windoze users... I'm using Firefox 2 for Linux, and the longer I leave Firefox up, the slower it runs. Of course, the easy fix is to restart Firefox, but just telling you it's still noticeable on my system.
If you spend $250 for a dinner with your wife, you are making too much money. I spend that much for a month's worth of groceries AND all my eating out. I donate my money and my time to various things that can use that money to make a lot of people almost as comfortable as I am, such as Asheville Homeless Network. If you are interested, we would love a donation... maybe two meals' worth...
The word processor, spreadsheet, and powerpoint thingie are all good and MS compatible. They have yet to get CLOSE to compatibility with the MS database, or even find a database that is easy to use. I totally agree about the speed issue, it's a main reason I had for migrating so slowly.
There is still occasionally a problem with "copying" a website to a wordproc file, but they have ironed out MOST of the bugs in that process.
I don't know what claim they can make... My experience with Thunderbird, with months of going through tech support forums, was that I had to turn off all my anti-virus and -spyware programs to even get T'bird to send an email out. Eudora 7.x does that without this "tweak". Perhaps the "new" Eudora will resurrect this Thunderbird problem...
Currently you cannot get the anti-Spam engine for Eudora unless you already have a registered version... there is nobody to register the version I have, and without registration, there is no anti-Spam.
Either way, it is a less-than-effective product... if Eudora, you can't identify the spam, and if Thunderbird, you can't block viruses and spyware.
I just got Eudora when Thunderbird wouldn't work for me without turning off all my security (virus, firewall AND spyware checker).... nothing in the package says it's open source or other than Qualcomm... shows you I wasn't paying attention or something. Eudora works great "out of the box", unlike Thunderbird did for me.
OK, so when is Apple going to become mainly an OS company? They should have done this decades ago, offering a better interface on the same damned hardware everyone is already using.
I have tried to install several versions of Linux over the years. Mandrake 9.0 was the first one that worked, that really installed, loaded, and didn't complain about what hardware I had or didn't. It still looks like it needs work, I was hoping that 10.0 would fix a lot of things with the new kernel, but haven't been able to get my hands on it. My best friend and linux guru has switched from Mandrake 9.0 to Fedora.
I remember when I got 4DOS, a DOS extender that had some really special features, they included REXX as the scripting language. I never really got into it, but it was there and hundreds of thousands of 4DOS users had it, whether they used it or not.

Um, last I checked, Bill Gates owns 50% of Apple... so Bill Gates is at least HALF of Steve Jobs...
