About my libraryIf I only had the persistence to just SIT DOWN AND FINISH ADDING THE BOOKS TO MY LIBRARY. :) Maybe 900 left???

Just can't. It hurts.

You are very welcome. Happy New Year!
Not entirely sure what you're looking for....I've used windows since 3.1, and do still use it today (though I have successfully avoided Vista so far). But I got a macbook pro for work and wanted to minimize my pain re-training my fingers to do common things, so I got Pogue's book. I'd recommend it, obviously, but most of the advice is what he's written, not anything I can add to it I don't think.
Hi Terry,

I do reader's reports for Book-of-the-Month club, so I received an ARC from them a few months ago to review! I'd be interested to hear what you think about it when you finish.

You are most welcome. I sort of stumbled upon it by accident one day and am glad to be able to share the knowledge with someone else. =)
