Flappo The Grate: and you're an IT specialist ? what in - commodore 64's ?? Much earlier than the C64. I started with COBOL on a Honeywell DPS 8/88 mainframe, later migrating to IBM 30/90s and 43/81s. I have fond memory's of the 6250 tapes we used to read and write to! I wouldn't say that I am a specialist in the context that you suggest

Flappo The Grate: 'simon' comes over as a 3rd rate troll imo , if he was open to the experience of a mac he wouldn't make such silly flame bait comments in the first place , making ridiculous statements about things he doesn't even have the faintest grasp of , despite supposedly being a big shot IT specialist then collapsing like a pack

Hi Alex, actually I have figured it out thanks. I thought that the mouse I had did not have a right mouse button. At least not one I could see visibly. It does though, but it was turned off in the mouse preferences in control panel, or MAC equivalent. It was set to primary and I changed it to secondary which now works. I have just been on the phone

I am glad you are happy.

Peter: I am not a computer expert. Couple of points though: 1. I would suggest using Firefox for this site rather than safari. This is an asp site using software from MS and it is not optimised for Safari. 2. I use the right mouse button all the time on my Mac. Works a treat. Thanks Peter, unless you tell me otherwise I don't believe my mouse has

Alex: WMA files don't work in iTunes - WMA is Microsoft's format and I can't see them licensing it to Macs for quite a while. If you have a Windows machine available, you can drag the WMA files into iTunes and it will convert them (one thing you can't easily do under OS X). Apple, rather strangely, decided to remove the Apple icon from

Flappo The Grate: ironic how the guy bought a mac for it's looks , then rubbishes it as all showand as for macs being mere toys and an os with no oomph ( god , that's the most stupid thing i've read in a LOOOOONG time )do your researchhttp://www.apple.com/business/http://www.apple.com/science/ie;http://www.wolfram.com/ - mathematica is a

Flappo The Grate: " MACs are just as susceptible to viruses as PCs are but nobody bothers writing viruses for them because its too small a marketplace and wouldn't make enough impact. " err , you obviously have no idea what you're talking about http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12537279/ http://www.macworld.com/news/2004/02/18/virus/ By

Update literally minutes later... pages not opening properly in parts of the BeoWorld site and now Safari informs me it cant open my Hotmail page. You don't suppose this is anything to do with the fact that its Microsoft do you? Who loses out? Me, the customer. Can't wait to see whats to come! Nighty night. Simon.

My God! Reading all your comments squabbling over PCs and MACs is ridiculous! I had to listen to the same rubbish when I bought my iMac from Apple today in Bath. Who cares about what a MAC can do and what a PC can't and vice versa? Stop believing all you read about MACs being some kind of super computer and better than a PC, its complete garbage
