deckardcanineI now know of FileZilla alternatives that I can buy from Apple and thereby ensure safe use on my MacBook. They don't cost much, but it still feels like a movie theater requiring you to buy their refreshments instead of bringing your own. More importantly, I still need to download a driver to go with my scanner. I'd buy a new scanner if I thought it would solve the problem, but I have no such assurance.
So far, while I do see a few advantages to a laptop even if I don't take it anywhere, I have yet to see any advantages over Microsoft. It's not just a learning curve: I miss being able to delete letters forward or one word at a time and reach the end of a line with one keystroke. Apple converts tell me I'll learn to love it in time. I figure on giving it two more weeks, and if I still appreciate it only for quick Net connections, I'll make use of that warranty.
In the meantime, I will sigh and remember that my problems pale next to those of almost everyone else I know.
