Hi Jerry,

I don't know, you sound an awful like a number of my friends and acquaintances used to, back before they gave a Mac a try... (grin)

All I know is, for a complete Computer Dumbass like me who simply wants to get the job done while adhering to the KISS principle, Apple rocks, and is well worth whatever additional premium I'm paying... As I mentioned in my reply to Steve above regarding cruising in Honduras, I prefer not to waste too much of my energy while cruising on matters such as "security issues", and so forth... (grin)

best regards,

Jon
