I really like it when they do what I want, not what they think I want -- and the more "helpful" they are the less I like them.<BR/><BR/>I'm aware of the cloud model -- I have a friend who uses the google verion. My only problem is that I do a lot of my work on a laptop in places without internet connection; and, again, I'm such a diehard WordPerfect guy -- I've got hundreds of macros that I wouldn't know what to do without!<BR/><BR/>Right now I'm dreading that Ventura Publisher won't work as it should on Vista -- I installed it and it opens ok but I've not done any work in it. I love that program, and have generated whole books in it (when I was in the publishing trade) -- never liked Pagemaker. But the last version of Ventura is two generations of OS old...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it was the wanting to do things my way that kept me away from the Mac, except for the very brief time I had to use one when I worked in the Diocesan office. <BR/><BR/>Well, must run, and get packed up. Hanna is here, and raining like the dickens.Tobias Stanislas Haller BSGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047429477181560685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786565.post-50675101559038128132008-09-06T16:36:00.000-05:002008-09-06T16:36:00.000-05:00TobiasI hope you will have a well deserved and pea...Tobias<BR/>I hope you will have a well deserved and peaceful rest!<BR/><BR/>Your computer stories amused me. I am not quite as computer literate as you, my personal interest only having started with 386 machines, but have you come across cloud computing? Everything remains online and you can never lose anything. Unless the whole cyber system collapses, of course...<BR/><BR/>Well done you for saving everything except your last sentence! But I find computing so much more frustrating since the machine started to do everything for me and thereby stopped me from doing what I wanted it to do! It's the automotive equivalent of no longer being able to change a lightbulb but having to go to a garage to exchange the whole light unit instead!<BR/><BR/>Wow, you finished your book in record time! I can't wait for it to come out and hope we will find a way of getting a paid and signed copy to me to the UK!<BR/>(for Erika without a c, please? xx).<BR/><BR/>Have a good break!Erika Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01812376497361267014noreply@blogger.com
