Every so often, I get on a kick when I run into some particularly, sophisticated and nasty thing that is aimed at consumers who really don't have the time and energy to be that aware. Nor should they be and until these kinds of scams and spoofs are stopped, people will lose money and precious data. <br /><br />I appreciate your kind comments. I rove back and forth, from the musical world to the computer world; thank you so much for visiting!

I'm a woman of exactly two talents a...@Guilie,<br /><br />I'm a woman of exactly two talents and I pretend to know the others! But thank you for the kind words. I do NOT play the violin, although I have sto- uh, earned many dollars doing so.<br /><br />MAC systems are entirely foreign to me. When I went back to school to major in computer science because I was stupid enough to marry another violist (we met playing the "Nutcracker" in Detroit), who I fear, labored under the delusion that the Zither Fairy would wave magic dust over me and Presto! no more competition, we studied DOS-based systems and the attendant math and logic. <br /><br />The first time I was presented with a MAC was when I worked at IBM and we had exactly one for about 20 engineers, but we had "shells" that worked much like virtual machines do now and allowed us to fix MAC-related problems. I however, felt as if I were a cow, being presented with a steering wheel and decided to stick with what I knew.<br /><br />The end result of this was me hollering to a MAC user who was just a little more out-of-it than I was (in 1997) to a floor of 100 engineers "A box? A BOX IS A THING SHAPED LIKE A SQUARE!!" in an attempt to fix an MS WORD 6.0 problem for Macs, which was a horrible, horrible legacy program. <br /><br />I, at that point, sealed my legendary status and moved on to OS/2, about which I knew even less, but it was a great floor show! Until I learned the system, and then I ruled, seriously.<br /><br />PITA is for the more sensitive among us, because I can be SOOO salty and I wish to at least attempt to fit in. People have this idea that musicians are these hot-house flowers, when in reality, we're more like a group of sailors on shore-leave. <br /><br />I'm so happy you solved your issue! Macs ARE awesome! I feel that we stick with what we initially learn, and I started out with the architecture and the mathematics of the PCs and command line programming. I've seen people do similar things with MACs, but I am a stranger in a strange land! My hats off to you, Guilie! xoxo Mary!ViolaFuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05796592763194795436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044142491333444735.post-65469784791331824992014-02-20T11:25:59.240-05:002014-02-20T11:25:59.240-05:00You're a woman of many talents, Mary :) You...You're a woman of many talents, Mary :) You're way ahead of me when it comes to computer savvy, plus I use a Mac, which is way simpler to handle, even down in the entrails/code level. This post resonated with me because I deleted the Java plug-in a couple of weeks ago (with Flash who needs it?) and, by mistake, deleted a bunch of Java-related but not dangerous files that kinda made my OS crash :D So I spent a couple days rebuilding it... I'm a big backuper, so not much in the loss of files, but it was still a PITA (*love* that!) :DGuilie Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006999087139126972noreply@blogger.com
