I switched from DirecTv to Comcast for the same reason & am happy that I made the change because I use the Toast app on a regular basis.

We stayed with Comcast (and purchased a Tivo HD), so we could continue to use Toast to bring our recorded shows to our Macs. Otherwise, if there had been a way to do it, we would have switched to Direct TV.

You lost me there, Cherie.
Spam, does not come from visiting sites on the web. And I don't get that much spam, if that is what you are implying.

About once a month I get a span email that says it is from my ISP, saying there is a problem with my account. This spam gets sorted to my ISP folder by my email rules. I have been trying to automatically flag these emails as spam but cannot. The senders fake the return address to show it comes from my ISP. I can look at the header of this spam and every field is correct for mail from my ISP. If I mark it as junk the real mail from my ISP gets marked as junk too, so I just delete it.
You have to expect some span to get past the filters. Set up rules if any will work on the junk mail, otherwise just delete it and forget it.

Things I have learned using the internet for 20+ years:
1. I must continually train my email what is spam.
2. Never empty trash without a quick glance at all "from" addresses.

>> I'm not sure of the power use by an iMac my MacPro currently is running at 200 watts, according to the power meter on my UPS. Sleeping it uses 3 watts or less. That's just over $2.00 per day that not sleeping costs where I live, using the highest cost electricity in the USA.
>
> I must admit I know very little about the cost per hour ranges for electricity in the US, but I find it hard to believe that 200 Watts translates to $2 per day. Were that the case, two light bulbs would cost you $60 per month!
200 Watts X 24 hr = 4800 Wh = 4.8 kWh
$2.00/4.8kWh = 41.7¢/kWh
On Lanai, in the Hawaiian Islands, electricity costs average about 45¢/kWh.
Block Island, RI, presently gets ALL its electricity from diesel generators; when oil prices hit a record in July 2008, electricity rates there reached 62¢/kWh.

In 2011 I did a lot of research on a MC812LL/A
I do heavy data in excel sometime reaching the limites of excel
of which my corrent computer purchased in 2007 having replace
the motherboard with a generic one and upgrading my memory
using windows home xp and microsoft home and student 2010.
I've been reading posts now for over a year and it seems
like there are problems with the imacs too.
So now again I'm thinking about purchasing a imac and I've a few
questions:
1) MC812LL/A has old version and new version. Whats better? or
is there a better option?
B&H discontinued the MC812LL/A and I wonder about the new
version. Articles comparing to the old version versus the
new verwsion are no longer on line. It sound like the
old verson has advantages. What are they?
2) The MC812LL/A purchased in 2011 did not have the LION installed
and I live abroad now, having no way to install this within the
30 days after purchase.
3) What do you do when your 3 year additional warrenty runs out.
Is it worth fixing having to depend on a Mac store repairing it.
4) On utube a fellow claims bad connections, no longer gold connections account for the shorter life of a computer.
Does the Imac store clean computer for corresion under their
service plan or extra warrenty period?
I use of course email, facebook, online searches,
have lots of excel spreadsheets that are extrememly large,
have thousands of photos and have an EPson2780 to load pix
wondering if that will work on MC812LL/A ?
Am tentatively planning on getting an IPOD for music in lieu of
my technics stereo and digitize the 200 CD's.
Thus I need at least 1 tet of memory in additon to my passbook
essential, a godsave of the hours of work on programs, data,
and other notepad messages.
I am able to ship the computer abroad and use the Imac store
abroad under warrenty as I've checked that out in emails to
Mac. The cost of buying abroad at imac is considerably more
than the u.s. and I must declare and pay an extrea $60 for the
shipping of a new computer.
5) What are the biggest problems with a new Imac, especially the MC812LL/A?
I'm 71, a a retired corporate analyst and I don't want a lot of
problems as I grow older. I cannot really comprehend why a computer
can't last as long as a television that also has tin connections.
6) With my intel motherboard, when it dies a few years later
there are no replacements available. With a Imac, are original
motherboards available after a few years in lieu of a generic
motherboard.
7) How often do you have to replace RAM memory?
8) I've read on your forum one can download microsoft
exel. How does that work?
9) How can I transfer m.s. word, paint, notepad to an IMAC
or are there problems as I've years of data I would not want
to lose.
10) Are there any other issues I might need to know?
11) Does magicjack work well with the IMac?
12) Wheres the best place to purchase an Imac especially the
old version of MC812LL/A or is there a better Imac?
I don't want to get where I spend more than five hours a day
on the computer and have to devote so much time to problems.
Over the last year I've read posts by those whom love windows
but were happy to switch to Apples Imac.
Thank you.
