That'll keep your accounting and most other parts of your business under control. Liz Angela,

I've been told by other users that there is a setting somewhere which enables one to specify that it remembers WiFi connections. Haven't located it yet -- so it's not an update problem. Thanks, Adam.

]]> Comment on Problems with Vista and Leopard by kirk http://www.livingwithoutmicrosoft.org/2007/12/26/problems-with-vista-and-leopard/#comment-42070 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 17:02:32 +0000 http://www.livingwithoutmicrosoft.org/2007/12/26/problems-with-vista-and-leopard/#comment-42070 I have had absolutely NO problems with Leopard. And neither has any of my Apple comrades. I would say that the Leopard rumors are just that. It actually runs better on my Mac. the upgrades are awesome. Vista, on the other had is 3 times larger than XP was. Just to give you an idea of how overloaded it is. Stuffed with lots of junk. I bought a copy and upgraded one of my PC laptops. It ran about 3 times slower than XP, so I dumped it and put XP back on. XP is great. There should be no need to upgrade to Vista. Between the two computers, the MAC is my favorite. I can do more with it using less software. I use my PC only for games now. I have had absolutely NO problems with Leopard. And neither has any of my Apple comrades.
