[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1197570, member: 190607"] As someone who spends a lot of time helping users with their Macintosh problems, this is one of the most frustrating things that I encounter: folks who are having a problem and who assume that it is "normal" (even when told otherwise), and who conclude that the product is "junk" not matter how much evidence to the contrary you give them. Usually these folks are too stubborn to listen to your suggestions for how to fix their problem. I guess this is rooted in the fact that most users have a certain amount of technophobia and they don't want to be troubled by what they feel is something beyond their understanding or which might be too difficult to deal with. Ironically, most problems involving a Macintosh are fairly easy to deal with. It might involve some trial and error to narrow things down to what the actual problem is, but the process is usually pretty painless. ___________________________________________ Randy B.
