hi Ricardo, sure the mac have come a long way in 2 years. And do i think it is an issue? well i doubt i would waste time pressing keys if i did not think so, about computers, and education, i am a totally clinically and cold girl. If you are living in norway you might have that issue as well. But else yes you are right you can do as the most might have done just used fred and alex for a none-english language, and train your brain too understand that :) I honestly dont care much for what we might have done 2 years ago, it is about 24 months back, it is basically the same going to look at the 2011 peugeot ion, when we indeed write 2013. you give pound-sign 30000 for both cars, but i will assure you that the electric car from 2013 is better equipped. I got the most of my sight back and i will absolutely assure you that with out the danish Norwegian and sweetish voices on the mac my education as a nurse would never have been an option. Not with jaws anyways, it would simply have been too costly for me. Jaws, books etc. nope i would not have been able too do it do to the high price-tack on both books, and jaws. im the other fella not rocker fella smiles... Ricardo, it is not that i cant see your frustration, i can, but we all are on about different things :)
