Thanks, Cindy. As far as a "computer store", the college kid place is actually an hour and a half away. The closest Apple store would mean three days off work and overnight at a hotel! Oh well!

Use-wise, I'm probably a step above surfing and email, but 27 steps below you! It takes forever to scan a picture and edit it...I can almost hear the creaking and groaning, and it's kind of like the 60's watching all the black spaces come and go while it tries to do two things at once.

If I could figure out how to save my emails and back them up, I'd just keep chugging along. Maybe I can get somebody locally to let me test drive a Mac just to see.
