But No. They can't do anything about it until we start getting detailed
information.

So both Microsoft and Apple are simply going to sit there doing nothing
until we get the detail they need.

If you want the bug fixed: please send DETAILS.


As per note in another post on this topic. This type of attitude annoys me alot: I started this thread, sometime early May (at least earlier than 7th May). This is a serious problem for us, and we have provided notes on detailed and exhaustive efforts to try and pin down this problem - including completely re-initialising a couple of our computers, backgrading OS and Office versions, changing fonts, using font managers etc. etc. etc. Days of effort. Was it badly written? Was something vital missed out? If so, why haven't you commented on this at the time...?

What is it that wasn't provided that you need to know?


I am new on the group
so I am blowed if i will read lots of old files

so pleas briefly define the problem

the trick with ny macintosh is to freeze old machines OS and software once they work well

and don't update OS or APPS unmless security issues arise like WinXP


this machine is on Tiger and I am not certain I will update ever

I won't get Windows Vista for at least a year after the launch
I run WinXP via parallels desktop on this Imtel mac too


what kind of work are you doing on the Macs?


regards
