I am 65 yrs old and tired of all the crap that slows my gateway down I have heard mixed opinons concerning Apple's ability not to pick up viruses What is the real scoop- Is Apple the way to go?

There are no viruses that attack Apple computers running Mac OS X. It is possible, although extremely rare, to be tricked into installing some form of malware, but this cannot be done automatically without your involvement unlike on a Windows system.

Mac OS X is built on top of the UNIX operating system which has a long history of security. There is a reason why most web sites are hosted on systems running the UNIX operating system - they rarely have any problems/slow downs. (See links below)

What is the best setting for your computer and Why?

Well, you're going to want it in a room that is safe and secure. Cleanliness is good too. A big problem is getting too much dust in the components. I'd set your tower under a desk with the monitor on the desk (this obviously wouldn't apply to laptops). Make sure your cords are secured and not out in the open where they can be tripped on or ripped up by a pet. Also, networking plays a big part in this. If you're home network is wireless, you're going to want any nonmobile computers to be in places where there can be as little interference as possible from other wireless devices. Many routers operate on similar frequencies to that of microwaves and wireless phones. If your desktop is going to be using wireless, locate it somewhere near the router or where there are clear lines of wireless communication. If you have more than one desktop, put your router at one of those desktops.

Why does a decimal value waste memory space?

Decimal (more formally, binary coded decimal) values store numeric information as digits encoded using the four bit binary equivalents: 0 (0000) to 9 (1001). That means a single byte can hold values between 0 and 99. But simply using the same byte to hold a binary value will yield values between 0 and 255 (or –128 and +127).

The Motorola Razor, whether it's prepaid or not, can technically download music off you computer. It requires a mini USB cable that will attach to a port on your computer. You may need to purchase a mini SD card to store the music onto. Any music that you have stored on your computer can then be sent to an external device (your Razor). You may have to go into your windows start menu and click on "Computer". From there you can see which drive your Motorola Razor is plugged into. Once you've discovered which drive to send music to, you can transfer the files onto your Motorola Razor.
