Facebook game use Flash, that is not the most computer friendly system and is no longer being developed by Adobe. It will eventually be replaced by HTML5 I believe. By then there will be another new iMac out and another new OS. That will be a huge upgrade from >6 years old now.

Wow did I hear something about the fleas of a thousand camels, aaaaaaahhh Oh well maybe not, this is sent to you from my new iMac it is taking some time to get everything setup but itb is soooooooooo easy. I have to keep telling myself to stop thinking in widows,(DELETE-DELETE-DELETE) I will tell anyone who is thinking about changing to a mac DO IT asap you will not be sorry. thanks for all the help all of your suggestions worked out very well. the only thing I did extra was 16 gigs of ram. I moved the original 4 gigs to the secondary slots and put 2, 8 gig sticks in the primary and what do you know it is up and running with 20 gigs of ram. I was not sure it would recognize all 20 but it does Huuuuuuuuum I also got a download of Aperture 3.3.1 and so far I like the look of it next project is to add my other 24 inch monitor, it VGA , DVI, and HDMI connections so all I need is to find an adapter from iMac to HDMI and all will be well, no worries, no hurries Oh OH !!!!!! rambling again bad puppy go directly to the newspapers!!!! by the way this is sent from my iMac LOL take care be well Ed

Great news Ed. I just upgraded my friends new iMac to Mountain Lion today, but was dismayed his 17" laptop is stuck at Lion. :-( He has a need for synchronising his accounts between the two, he is off to Australia next year, so I guess I have plenty of time to resolve it but I don't think a new MBP will be on the cards somehow. This one was new in 2006, it's only 6 years old and not had a lot of use.

Hey Robert I upgraded to Mt Lion a couple days ago and it was seamless, also it was free from Apple, today I got an email from the people I bought from offering a link to a free download,although I don't need it I thought it was cool of them. I can say one thing about the problem you are having with your friends mac it's things like those that keep you young  one more thing I have been switching keyboards PC then iMac and back again and I really like the iMac board better and it looks cool lol be well take care Ed

He is tough as old nails, caught double Pneumonia while on Lanzarote in March, he only just survived, he is almost fully recovered now. This trip to Australia is for three months, June July and August to Adelaide, then he is going over land to Darwin and back via Ayeres Rock and another nearby (120 Km?) landmark location where there are sausage like rocks* strewn across the landscape. He is chattering about it with the enthusiasm of a ten year old.  Perhaps the 'Devils Marbles' near Wauchope?

I have just found a great piece of software. It is only for Mac but is similar to FastStone in Windows. It is called Lyn. And can be downloaded from http://www.lynapp.com Unfortunately it costs £â‚¬$16 if you want the full version but the trial is for 15 days then there is a limited version if you dont pay. If you want a good simple browser then that is fine. I paid the £16 as I thought it was so good.
