Ok then.
Perhaps you should have posted your problems here before making a decision to go back to Windows.
Its not to late, why don't you let the good people of the forum help.

If we only knew the answer to that!;)

But then why do lots of folks do lots of things that we don't understand.

I'm new to mac as well.. my connectivity sucks too. Luckily it was my fault, I've got a baby cam, and a complete come security cam system.. turns out it was all on 2.4Ghz, causing interference. Maybe you just need to move over to the 5Ghz band :) mac seems to like that.

Holy cow Dennis! Impressed on multiple levels here, one that you have an old C64 and two that it actually still works! Much props! :)

Yeah Dennis, I'm also impressed that you have a working C-64! How many other ancient machines do you have hanging around?

ROTFL. Can't believe you have a working one. C64 fans are almost as rabid as some of the Apple/Win fanboys.

There was a contest thread here way back which I am sure is still here where we all posted pics of our working old systems. I won the contest it was said. I have the following working systems:

Vic-20, C64, C128, Atari 400, 800, 800XL, 130XE and more Ataris, An Atari ST, Amiga, and the very first made in boca rattan Florida IBM 5151 with original monitor and keyboard.

In the end users here back then tore into me for owning so many old systems (it's a hobby of mine) so I backed away and never posted about it again. Hope the same does not happen this time.

Why on earth would anyone give you a hard time over that you have my admiration of course I have friends that teased me last year for running OSX, XP/Win 7 PRO and Ubuntu 12.04 on 3 different machines but do to logic board failures down to just a MBP running 10.9.2.

OOOH lookit Mr. Fancy Pants Dennis with his Ataris and IBMs!

I guess the TRS-80 Models I, III, IV and 4P aren't *good enough* for ya!

:)

(no I don't still have them, I reluctantly parted with last of them and an SE/30 or two in 2007. I will always love those machines for helping me discover I had a talent with computers, though).

Nice collection Dennis. I didn't go through all of those and never owned an Atari machine - started with the TI-99 instead of the Vic-20, then C64, C128 and into the x86 world with DOS 6 and Win3.1. By the early 90s, the games were coming out for DOS and Windows and gaming was really the only reason I got into computers.

Be nice to have one of those sitting around, but whether I would actually replay one of those old text based adventure games - naw, probly not. But they were pretty cool at the time.
