Aw, I wish you hadn't posted that because I always considered you very sharp when it came to computers.

Well .......OK..........Think now I understand.
6 months was enough for me to realize that I didn't care for OS X, it just didn't appeal enough to me to continue using it. Can you show me where i said I knew all about Macs?
During that 6 month stint with the Mac mini, I actually had more trouble with it than all my Windows machines combined. Part of it was due to the extremely weak wifi in the mini, it kept dropping the connection even though Windows machines that were further from the router had a strong connection. I had been impressed that when I first turned it on, the mini recognized my Windows network and made the shares available, unfortunately, after a couple of months, one day the Windows shares just disappeared. I had to read up about Samba and invoke a cryptic Samba command in order to restore my Windows shares. Never had to do that with my Windows machines. I also had the OS get corrupted a couple of times and I had to do a restore.
I find it interesting that a large portion of Mac users end up installing Windows on their Macs anyway in order to run certain software (such as games). Once they do that, it kind of negates having the Mac in the first place.
