I am so extremely happy I switched to Mac some three years ago..
Been dealing with a couple of Vista machines for family members lately, it
sucks big time.
If you sneeze in the same room it will crash.

Regarding Asus, at least you get a recovery disk, with Acer you get nada!
Burn your own,, But it comes with D2D and image on hidden partition, so
you can reset/reinstall to factory standard only using keyboard.

Bought two laptops before Christmas, one Acer and one Asus, the Acer
chrashed already on the first setup, went in for service/repairs today.
Asus is running fine, Asus is also the machine which seems more solid,
better keyboard etc. The box it came in whas not as fancy as Acers.. :-)
But was delivered with mouse and carry bag.

Spoke to the guy in the shop(They sell a wide variety of makes, computer
shop only), and he recomended Asus. Claimed it was the Mercedes of Asia
produced machines..(Hp had the highest return rate).

I have been using Thunderbird since I got the Mac because I wanted a
newsreader in the same proggy as mail(Like O.E.).
But started to use Opera's built in Newsreader and mail program a couple
of weeks ago, Three in one!!

The reason for the swap: Thunderbirds bad memory leak..
It is no longer suported either, so you will not see any further updates.
The word now is Seamonkey. have not tried it myself..

Ps.
Opera is free for all plattforms, 9.26 was released today.

Hhmm, could very well be, was dead sure I read it was dropped, so I have a
memory leak too. 8*}

But nobody really ****ing cares. I would suggest if you are interested
in a discussion of such you take it to a computer group not an aircooled
VW group.
