Afternoon,

One for any budding Bill Gates' out there; Having just got a shiny new laptop 
for xmas, I notice that a number of programmes all state that explorer is 
required to run any web based components. Will these programmes still run the 
appropriate bits on firefox?

Also, does anyone know of any good basic guides / books for learning how to 
use AutoCAD 2000 LT? 

Cheers

As one of only 5 people in Britain who run Macs (it often 
feels like that anyway...) 

I'd say try out Firefox, or, migrate over to Mac and buy a 
new, shiny and utterly cool iMac G5 and get Safari-which is 
Macs version 
of Explorer (?!).

Yes, loads of hassle with Macs to exchange files and open 
attachments etc. You soon get used to it, and it becomes easier with 
time. Also, it's worth it to see the look on the oiks face in 
P.C. World when he tries to sell you ANOTHER P.C.  virus 
upgrade, which, 
of course, you don't need....

BUT, speaking as a totally non-tecchie - in nearly 3 years, 
No viruses, Trojans, Worms etc. (that I'm aware of) and the 
equivalent of 
about a cubic metre of extra office space available to fill 
with other junk, as I don't have that bleedin enormous grey 
box that all 
p.c.'s seem to need.
You soon get used to the Mac, and if you buy the  Student 
version of Office for Mac (£80), it does what the p.c. does 
too, without 
crashing and becoming virused....

This is whats called "an unsolicited testimonial".......

Happy New Year all.....
