But first I need to get all the software progs installed, and learn a bit more about how to use them, and the Mac. One thing I noticed is that every time I click a folder it opens a new window. Having been used to a PC, with it's navigation controls (up/down/back/forward) I find this troublesome. Can I somehow change the setup so that the same window updates, and I can move up/down/back, etc..? Also if I do connect to the net.. should I upgrade programs such as Internet Explorer, to the latest versions, or is it best to leave it/them in the same relative era as the hardware? -- rgds, Pete ----- http://pedro.spyw.com The time here is- http://tinyurl.com/6sfgd 'Computers make very fast, very accurate mistakes!'
