Hi,
I have returned to Mac and OS X again. I previously owned a t640.dk HP computer which was fast but I could not feel comfortable with WindowsXP. I used to love WindowsXP but this time was an exception. After having tried OS X for a year nothing can top it.
So here I am; back on my old iMac which I got instead of my HP PC.
Just a warning 
This IS the lounge afterall, right ?

I'm on a t660a at the moment, and this is my pc. It is fantastic; fast, efficient, etc. And luckily, I haven't come across any windows bugs yet. But I am sure they are coming. Unfortunately, I have a family that likes IE, so I have a toolbar installed in it permanently now, so I am in Firefox. FU Microsoft. If it was possible, this machine with OS X.

Don't ditch the PC. Store it in a dry cool place.

Mmm... they won't listen. Also, MSN messenger opens IE no matter what you have the default browser set at.

- Kerio firewall to block IE from even starting up (without notification, of course)
- Trillian as a MSN messenger replacement
- Then use Kerio to block MSN messenger as well
no?

Without standing up for Hewlett-Packard, i'd have to say that I think it's a codename for my country and that HP made some especially for Denmark !?
I know it was kind of a joke, the question.
Thank you all for the shoutouts. And please, do stay tuned for more Happy Days. We're having an intermission. The stageguy broke his arms and legs while trying to mess with me  Or something..
