Good to see you again Queen.
Sorry about the computer hassle. As Trek mentioned (but not in these words) MACs rule.

We've been contemplating a new laptop in the next year...I came home and said "I don't care that it costs more, I'm buying a mac next time!", she said she thought it was time to switch too. So will you mac folks be available for consult when I can't figure out the most basic things like clearing the cookie cache?

Yes indeed.
Usuing a Mac is extremely easy.

I had one of those. I even had an Apple II. Yup, I'm a Mac girl all the way. Right now I've got the G4 powerbook and I love it.
Macs are waaaaayyyyyyyy more intuitive than PCs with Windows. You'll have no problem at all and the tech support is great.Living life like there's no tomorrow.

LOL-I recognize the SE. Macs are much more portable now. Originally Posted by Queen

Imagine, if you will, two 73 year old parents who call me every time they lose the "flashy thing" (the cursor) and who click on most any pop up that shows up FREE SCREENSAVERS...NEED TAX HELP?...YOU JUST WON A MILLION DOLLARS", and who are on the slowest dial-up I've ever seen. Now imagine those same people sitting there with their shiny new computer with windows vista...
ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHH
I'm actually pretty competent on a PC but still couldn't make it run worth a crap.

Click "preferences"
Click "security"
Click "show cookies"
Either click the "delete all button" or just delete the ones you don't want.
You can set your cookie preferences to only accept cookies from websites you navigate to. Like TE. I just deleted ALL my cookies to see how it worked. It kicked me off TE and made a bit of a mess. I won't do that again, I'll just delete the cookies I don't want individually."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

Hmm...
I agree. I'd never buy MS OS within two years of its release. Took me years to upgrade to XP from 98. Wanted to let all the Win2k, Millenium, NT stuff settle before I settled on an OS that looked it was going to be the staple.
Mimi -- I'm sort a with you but as someone who once worked at Apple and then went into PC nerdland.. I'm agnostic. I think it's cool that the new Mac OS is now commandline capable and so the "under the covers" stuff is open for those who want to be geeks but it's still the same ole friendly Mac to those that don't give a hoot. Pretty cool balance.
Still agnostic though I do have a soft spot for Macs.Push the pedal down watch the world around fly by us

Yup, next new laptop in our house will be a mac. I know nothing about them, so all you happy mac users may be needed to provide a bit of guidance..... don't panic, it's probably a purchase that's 2 years away....
Great to hear from you, Kit! Glad you're having fun!
hugs and butterflies to you all,
