no bottom bar (what is that thing called, anyway?), no handy little X, nothing.

Hmm . . . like I said, must be a Windows thing.

And I suppose you lot are the kind of people who have to stick their fingers into the wall socket to prove to themselves that electricity really is dangerous?

My keyboard has a little Windows key thingy. I pressed that and my bottom bar reappeared, along with all the other Windows options(I call them my pull-up menu). I just clicked on the AWAD folder to bring it back on screen. Gonna have to think how I can close that darn button folder tho'. Hmmmmm. Very good chuckle, Max. More like a giggle. No, come to think of it, I was laughing pretty loud.

OK, so I pushed the darn button! It took the whole screen and turned it black and wouldn't go away![crying and stomping feet-e] I tried all my tricks, then shut the whole dang computer down and started over! Alt and F4 Keiva? It was that simple? Sheesh!

If I may speak with JazzO:

Macs rule

I just got a cute little button and then a small, manageable black screen.

Jazz, I guess this is why hackers don't write E-mail viruses for us. Come into my cave.... [cackle]

Macs rule

Of course, they're the Rolls Royce of the computer market.

By the way, the MacWorld website has an article about my school's use of Macs. I can't remember the exact link, but I have a link to it on my webpage: http://ecoop.uc.edu/students/daviscp

Edit: that link might not work for a while. The server (not a Mac) seems to be down today.

True, Jazzo - quite pretty in a quaint kinda way, but desperately uneconomic
