• I was frustrated with all the viruses (yes, in spite of firewalls and anti-virus software) so when my H.P. XP Media Center died I got an iMAC. I love the graphics on WOW and less spam and virus concerns but I miss a lot about my old p.c. Turns out my p.c. just needed a new power thingee (I'm not a techie, lol, I just love computers!) Is there a Windows/Apple friendly way to having them both on one DSL cable networking together? I was told no but thought you all would know. I do a lot of writing and would like to use the Windows Word instead of the one for Mac and have them both connected to the internet at the same time. Thanks.

• I had to laugh at "lacks recurring revenue from existing customers." My p.c. died and so I bought an iMAC. I contacted Customer Support on January 3rd 2009 to upgrade 2 programs and change platforms from p.c. to mac. I had an open ticket, faxed the required letter saying I'd destroy the "intellectual" property" and waited. And waited. When I called to inquire about my case I was rudely told that if I continued to call I'd be put at the back of the line. Wow. How's that for customer service? So I patiently waited another week. We are now at three weeks. I called again and a nice operator said he didn't know what the problem was and would put my ticket at the head of the line. I thanked him and hung up. And waited 2 more weeks. After 5 weeks of frustration I was angry! I explained my plight to the next person and said that I'd had enough and that I'd now like to re-register my old products and cancel my order. He was surprised that I hadn't received a disk in that time. I told him not only didn't I get a disk, I didn't get an email, phone call, letter or ANY type of communication while my ticket read "waiting for Adobe response." While I had been waiting for Adobe, I got my old p.c. fixed and it cost less for repairs (runs fine now!) than upgrading. So I thanked the guy (who was nice and did re-register my products) for saving me money!! If this is how returning customers are treated no wonder they have a poor track record with repeat customers. And guess what? At the end of the conversation, the customer rep said, "So would you like to upgrade now?" I think Adobe is in a parallel universe.

• Thanks for the peek into the NASA simulator
  I wish it were available for us desktop pilots. Wish there was more tech info? Dream on. In our post 911 world, doubt that info will be de-classified any time soon.
