    there are a lot of Microsoft spreadsheets I don't receive on my Mac--course my mac is 5 years old at least
    I had to change a lot of files into a mac format--did a lot of dvd burning etc which had to be changed from Microsoft to apple
    but overall when your phone/ipad/mac all our in sync it makes life very easy

    just a word on the bad press trump got for his first op
    just so you know there are two sides to every story--that girl however young she was was definitely in the wrong place at the wrong time

      Is it worth the extra cash? Will I have compatibility issues with existing files, and is the learning curve significant if I have never had an Apple laptop, or will my iPad experience make for a seemless transition?

      Thanks in advance.
      When I move it is likely I am going to need a laptop so I can continue to do my schooling and continuing Education credits at home along with personal stuff. I am getting the gist that like me you tend more towards non Mac stuff. So I talked (a couple months ago) with a very good friend of mine (an Assistant IT guy for a public school system) and he said that for value (and what I wanted) an HP ProBook would be the way to go. The added benefit of that is you can customize what you want off their website.

        Well, fuck Awlaki's daugher. She's a cute little eight-year-old, but she's also Awlaki's daughter. Seems like the raid went awry. I don't know how anyone's gonna blame Trump for that, and I don't think he has been, but, then again, the media culture we have has already been shaped quite a bit by him.

          So much less bullshit to worry about.

            Oracle it has that little flap, but it's not stable enough to type on my lap in the back of a car. That's the only time I miss my laptop when travelling. Still, so worth it not to have to lug a laptop through the airport. Surface much more usable on the plane, too.

                          it was on sale. Have I mentioned I'm a Scot?

                          Also, the salesgirl liked it and she was smoking hot.

                              The GOP plans to introduce a National Right-to-Work Law tomorrow that would probably just about kill what remains of private-sector unionism in this country.

                              I wonder if the Teamsters President that gushed about Trump 'saving jobs in Detroit' and all the union households that voted for Trump expected something like this as a 'thank you' for their support?
