Oz ,'Him'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Would someone who has never used a mac have much problem with it? Do macs come with Microsoft office programs like Excel and Powerpoint? What makes a mac superior to a pc at half the price if I have no intention of ever doing anything artsy?
I know you can change the run time on AVG because I have.
Yes you can get office and many alternatives on the Mac. They are exceptionally well built machines. Built well enough that I've purchased three of them to primarily run Windows. Mac OS is reasonably easy to learn as well.
I did download Open Office, and it seems good. So on my computer, I now have the crappy MS suite (Works, etc), the Office suite (not registered) and Open Office. Should I uninstall any of them, or does it not matter, since I have a lot of storage on my computer?
what everyone else said about changing AVG scan time, but like them i can't check until i get home. i know it took me a little bit to find where they'd hidden it though! sneaky buggers.
oh and i'll add my chorus to those who love their Toshiba notebooks. i've had my Sattelite for a few months now and pretty much love it. don't ever, for the love of GOD(!!!!), buy an HP. i had mine for less than a year and had to send it in five times(!!!) for repairs. it was pretty much the same thing every time. either the wireless card getting "lost" or the screen becoming dark and eventually just completely black.
Yeah, I'm on my third Toshiba. I had the first 2 for about 5 years each.
I'm on my second (bought in 06). Though AFAIK the first (from 02) is still running - my sister uses it but since she hasn't had internets for a few months it's basically a paperweight.
I have an eMachine from 1999 installed in a little theatre that's still running.

Uphill, both ways?
I have a couple of 1998 computers I gave relatives and are still running fine, one is a Gateway and one is a Micron. Lots of extra memory stuffed into them though. I had a 1998 Power Mac G3, that was perfectly good but I just didn't have any use for it.
brenda, in AVG go to Tools-->Advanced Settings, then in the left pane expand Schedules and click on Scheduled Scan.
