I was merely lamenting the situation. We would not be engaged in this discourse if I wasn't running Windows XP on my Gateway PC. I am also not suggesting that we are cooperating with evil by purchasing products made by companies that have intentions contradictory to our faith. Of course, if there was a viable alternative it would be incumbent on us to use it. I don't think there is and that is what makes me sad. Were we as a people more faithful then we would have a better option. I hope I didn't intimate that I expected someone to do soemthing about computer operating systems. We have to pick our battles. I think our battle is to ensure that our government stops sanctioning and these days promoting the evil of child murder through pregnancy abortion. When we succeed in that and also convincing our American culture to become a culture of life then it goes to follow that creative human beings will develop PC operating systems that are not only superior to what we have now but also companies that do not promote the horror of abortion or the destruction of the traditional family. Joe, I too do not upgrade my OS; however, I have refrained from purchasing a new machine in order to avoid Vista or paying for the downgrade to Windows XP. Perhaps when 7 is released and the reports are favorable then I may purchase a new machine with the new OS and while I know that I am supporting the profits of a man who is opposed to my beleifs I will still make the purchase because the benefits of a computer enable me to do more good (God willing) then my contribution to Gates' evil actions in ratio. Please forgive me if my post was poorly worded. I wasn’t suggesting a boycott of computers. I was merely lamenting the situation.

No rush, since it was more of a streamlining update. I've had two great 'conversions' in my life. The first was to a Mac. :) Haven’t tried Snow Leopard yet.

I never had this operating system issue. I keep the one I have on the computer I buy until I buy I a new computer. I've never once upgraded operating systems. I have Vista on my laptop and it's worked out for me fairly well. I’m going to have to agree with Elaine on this one… what can you do?

So what are we supposed to do Knight... toss out our computers and shut down this blog until a new Bill Gates- or Steve Jobs-like computer genius who also happens to be a devout Catholic and 100 percent pro-life comes along to start a new company? Good luck with that. “Sadly the American consumer isn’t so concerned with products being made here in the USA and by companies that are not in favor of killing babies or endorsing same-sex families.”
