People tell me there is a program one can install that will make a Windows 7 or 8 machine look like good old Windows XP.  I believe it's called ClassicShell.

> Well, a couple things here.  First, what is your reason for wanting a Mac? It seems to me that with your level of use, and skill level, a change of this magnitude doesn't make a lot of sense.  Unless you like learning new technology, then why do it.  If your existing technology does the job you should stick with it.

>> Hello all, I need to get a new laptop, and am wondering if I should get a MAC. I have only had an  Asus PC, and use it only for its internet and DVD/CD capabilities. I am a mediocre skills user, able to do mostly what I need, but don't know much more than that about how to figure out more complexx  operations. I don't have anyone who can help me with my computer unless I take it to a store. But I thought maybe from what everyone has said on this list A MAC would be better, since I still have Windows XP and don't feel comfortable graduating to Windows 8. Can you advise me? Thanks,   Shonen
