Darn It. rfassett contributed many thoughtful ideas, strategies and made important points here in the ATX Community. I didn't always agree, but I have a healthy respect for rfassett. I for one will miss rfassett's input and insight.

Yes, statements of that nature are unacceptable. I do have to say though that when someone participates in a public forum and repeatedly posts responses of a nature that basically say "I know something that others don't, but I'm not going to provide helpful information", then others might begin to question the motivation for that person's continuing to make posts such as those.

Thank you, Taxed. That addressed my situation 100%.

I stopped beating my dead horses two years ago and upgraded to 7. All I can say is wow, what a difference. I loved my XP machines, but they were getting slower and more vulnerable to viruses that I finally took the plunge. No regrets whatsoever and not even a big learning curve for 7. Deb!

It could be updates to other programs or hardware that is/are not present on each machine. I sometimes get updates to a monitor driver, or updates to a pointing device, network card, etc.

We are NOT Switzerland, German or Canada. If their system is so great, moving there is an option available to every American. Liberals especially. It you wish to become a sheeple to those kinds of societies, moving is an option.

I am not sure that I would agree with your statement here. One of the few expenses the fast food and retail stores can control (to some extent) is payroll. When I was in that industry (for about 10 years) I was always looking forward to known increases in expenses to see how to adjust for them. I had to either absorb them or consider price increases to maintain my profit goals. Cliintonomics is not always an option.

I have had good luck in purchasing new, unregistered software on ebay. You can get good deals on prior-version software. Don't know where Adobe is at the moment but I bought Acrobat 10 shortly after 11 came out, brand new, registerable, for ~ 1/3 the price it had been.
