Xmarks and Apple

[Colin]

So far, email won't work, nor will it print over a network. I'm having trouble getting Outlook over to Entourage. When I do that I'll need to synch with a Treo.
as you see, my needs are complex.

I think they are great computers and I am determined to make it work, then maybe buy a notebook.
It is all a lot to learn, but it's fun

and here I thought you were an uncomplicated signmaker with a love for the great outdoors, Graham. Now we find out about all the gadgets and see you're as big a techno-geek as most

Good luck. My sister went to Mac 6 years ago and I doubt she is every coming back.

well colin, that's an interesting comment. I began thinking about it in relation to kilts. Here we are in a modern world, wearing a garment that goes back into the mists of time, and yet we drive cars, use computers etc.

I love the blending of all that is good of our computer age with that of the best from times ancient.
So yes, I'm a signwriter living in the "bush" (forest/land), growing my own food, yet having a passion for gadgets

Thanks archangel, for the link and the offer of help.
After a week with iMac I have a lot of problems sorted. The iMac has joined the wireless network just fine. A guy from a city Mac Shop down south spent an hour on the phone with me, out of the goodess of his heart, leading me through it.
I plan to be visiting his shop in a couple of weeks to buy a Macbook.

I can now synch with my Palm, and finding applications to match what I was doing in Windows.
The iMac is fast and lovely to work on, not using Mail, I need more so I'm shifted from Outlook to Entourage.

I think I'm hooked, just need parallels so i can run my sign software. A Mac version means spending several thousand - not worth it.

Thanks all.
