 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Adrian Re: Is Mac easier than Windows?  Dear Webby, Is Mac easier than Windows? Some friends tell me that they don't have the problems on their Mac that everybody seems to have on Windows. What's the real scoop? Adrian  Dear Adrian Mac is a cult, not just a machine, just like Harley Davidson. If they look at it realistically, nobody would buy a Harley because of reliability, performance or ease of use. They buy it because their buddies have one, or because they want to become buddies with Harley owners. Btw, I have nothing against Harleys and have ridden one for some time. The same goes for Mac. Their system is trying to be bimbo-proof and cutesy, like Vista or W10 are trying to be. That of course comes with a performance and reliability penalty. Mac shines with music related stuff. If you want to edit 16 tracks of music from your garage band, definitely get a high end Mac. It all depends on what you want to do with the computer. For top performance and reliability, use Linux or UNIX, just like banks and stores and industry use. For good performance and reasonable reliability, use XP or W7 Windows. For cute and pretty interfaces and be buddies with the crowd at Starbucks, use Mac or W10. They all work quite well for their intended purpose. Have FUN! DearWebby

 Upon entering a little country store, a stranger noticed a sign reading, "Danger! Beware of Dog" posted on the glass door. Inside, he noticed a harmless old hound dog asleep on the floor besides the cash register. He asked the store manager, "Is that the dog folks are supposed to beware of?" "Yep, that's him," he replied. The stranger couldn't help but be amused. "That certainly doesn't look like a dangerous dog to me. Why in the world would you post that sign?" "Because," the owner replied, "before I posted that sign, people kept tripping over him and bashing their teeth out on the counter."

 I deliver pizza to help cover my college tuition. Once I called on customers who sent their seven-year-old son to pay me. As he approached the screen door, I noticed he was carrying a check in one hand and two dollars in the other, which I assumed was my tip. To my dismay, he pocketed the bills before handing me the check, which was for the exact cost of the pizza. "Could that have been a tip?" I asked, trying not to sound accusatory. "Yep," he replied proudly. "Not bad for just a walk from the living room and back!" It's too bad he didn't know about how those boxes loose all rigidity when I open the tab with my fingernail. The klutzy kid made a heck of a mess on the hallway carpet. ___________________________________________________  Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Thriftyfun.com Leftover Cereal for Casseroles Use leftover or stale cereal as a casserole topper. Just crumble it up and use in place of or in addition to crackers. Fruit Loops (or other sweetened cereal) probably wouldn't work well as a casserole topper, but cheerios and corn flakes can taste fantastic. thriftyfun.Com  ____________________________________________________

 ___________________________________________________ The party had turned into a marathon with numerous guests coming and going. At one point, a man knocked on the door, was greeted heartily though no one knew who he was, and was led to the bar in the basement. He sat there happily for about an hour before a strange light dawned on his face. "You know," he confided to his host, "I wasn't even invited to this party. I just came over to tell you that some of your guests' cars are blocking my driveway. My wife's been sitting out in the car waiting for me to get them moved." ___________________________________________________ Thanks to Fran for this one: Trying to control my dry hair, I treated my scalp with olive oil before washing it. Worried that the oil might leave an odor, I washed my hair several times. That night when I went to bed, I leaned over to my husband and asked, "Do I smell like olive oil?" "No," he said, sniffing me. "Do I smell like Popeye?" ___________________________________________________ One night at an economy motel, I ordered a 6:00 a.m. wake-up call. The next morning, I awoke before 6:00, but the phone did not ring until 6:30. "Good morning," a young man said sheepishly. "This is your wake-up call." Annoyed, I let the hotel worker have it. "You were supposed to call me at 6:00 AM!" I complained. "What if I had a million-dollar deal to close this morning, and your oversight made me miss out on it?" "Well, sir," the desk clerk quickly replied, "if you had a million-dollar deal to close, you probably wouldn't be staying in this motel!" __________________________________________________
