You people graciously answered the questions I asked. If some of the conversation inspired a few side tracks that you found interresting, great. I`m not offended in the slightest.

No, it did not happen as promised. Was that a serious question or rhetorical? I guess we`ve had it for about ten years now, and it`s in need of service. Not the first time, but still the fact that it needs service again isn`t among my complaints- I`m perfectly happy with how it has held up. My chief b*tch is that I need to spend time researching something that I honestly have no interest in and/or pay money for what I could otherwise get in exchange for serving a friend or co-worker a nice dinner, or ask as a favor from my sister in the same way that I take care of her household plumbing and other maintenance as a favor. Mac doesn`t seem to be spoken much around here.
OS is 10.4, Safari and Firefox for browsers, but neither is up to the standard that my bank says I need. Fortunately, my wife`s laptop carries two browsers that are acceptable, so we still have a way to manage the bank accounts. But I do most of that, and usually in the afternoon when she and her laptop are elsewhere.

Okay, but still don`t get WHY I would want two in house computers.
