Fake Trojan help please
Should still have a product key somewhere. Probably in an e-mail. I'll check it out when I get a bit more time and see if I can get the upgrade.Nic wrote:You have to upgrade to get the latest version/interface, otherwise you just prolong your subscription.
As long as you got a product key from 2006-2008 you can download and install the 2009 version which I recommend you to do.
Once again, thanks everyone for advice.

...which is pretty much what you need to do with an old Mac if you want upgrade your... well... anything.Get A New Computer.
No you don't. And the beauty of Mac's is that you don't have to upgrade everything under the sun because the software engineers made a hash of everything. It's the most stable operating system around kids... 
And it looks good too!

To be fair, I have an old "toilet seat" iBook running the latest version of OSX on 192M of RAM.

Shiney Beast (a G4 mirror door) is 6 years old and does everything I ask it to do on 256k and I frequently run Photoshop, FreeHand, Camino, MacMail, iToonez, Messenger and System 9 (to run an old version of Solitaire till Dawn) at the same time. Yes things do slow down, but not to a halt.
I'm a designer by trade, Mac has been my weapon of choice since 1985. I have worked on a peecee (2 years of hell) and a SPARC station (digital mapping) the Macintosh interface is still the most intuitive and down right sexy.
thank you

I hear that you need about a gig of RAM just to run Vista.
To be honest, I use OSX at home far more than I do Linux, it's just that I'm getting a bit antsy about some of the stuff Apple are doing lately (spyware in iTunes, developer lock-in to the iPhone apps store...)

I agree on the ansty stuff fiendy I'm none too chuffed with it myself, Quark went down a similar road with activation codes, eventually they gave in to pressure, by then half their userbase had jumped ship to InDesign

Quark is much better at text formatting, in my line of work that is a must and I think you mean Flightcheck

If Mac wouldn't've been twice as expensive back then, all your FGG goodies would've been made on one.
Still Mac is quite expensive to purchase, no matter how easy it goes when using it.
Now typing on the new MizzIZ beastie, a Quadcore 2.8 gHz Dell with 4Gb memory. For 800-odd euro

You pay for quality and good looks.
But you were on the right track there until you mention Dell.
I believe they have a bit of a Firestarter problem, eh?

More of a "being generally rubbish" problem. I bought one because they were supposedly the best thing in the entire universe. Apparently not our universe, though. The ones we have at work are all rubbish too. And Dells are bloody noisy. Wouldn't buy another.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

I switched over to a Mac on October 30, 2007. Yes, I remember the date (mainly because I got hit by a car the next day, but still...)
I cannot imagine that I will ever purchase a Windows machine again.

This is one for the more geeky amongst you: I never really had the chance to sniff into the Mac OS. I was told that it mainly is a BSD-derivate, thus another of the Unixy operating systems. Now they went and dumped the legendary Motorola CPUs. That means a contemporary Mac is nothing but an Intel/AMD PC running under a BSD/Linux/Unix-tribe system. But it's slightly more expensive as the system is proprietary. (At least BSD and Linux are freely available.)

No. The Mac OS is Unix compliant. See here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/technology/unix.htmleotunun wrote:Isn't that just spitting the customer right into the face?

On a similar note, anyone know how to get rid of an 'interval' trojan as it calls itself. My virus checkers pick it up but can't seem to destroy it. It's a pain. Sorry if it's an obvious question. I'm a bit of a computer luddite. Ta.
