Java's a programming language that is used to run stuff on your PC and on the web; like Windows it gets updated on occasion.

Have a look here, it tells you what the latest update version is; do this first before you actually agree to accept the update to reassure yourself if you're not happy about it. If something doesn't look right then do more checking!

Sorry not been on for a while due to being poorly. Can someone help.....I need a new computer and I am wavering on either a new Laptop or a new base unit, both with Windows7! I just cannot decide on what will be best. I use computer mostly for card making.

Hi Margaret,

Hope you are feeling better now. I have both a desktop - it's getting on a bit now - and a new laptop. I use the PC for making cards and prefer the keyboard on the desktop, I don't make so many typing errors, lol. My Robo is attached to the PC, but I suppose it depends how much room you have to play around with.

I'm like Myra have a 4yr old desktop with all my Robo printer etc attached but use my laptop for the internet and designing (if you can call it that) my files

I use Greetings Card Factory Delux Version 6/7 a lot. I mainly use it for setting out my text on the front and back of my cards and also for my inserts. The problem is .... This was alright on my old computer (XP) and I can still use it there if I want too. However I would like to load it in my new laptop which is an Apple Mac. I know you can get a Mac version of it. Can anyone tell me where I can purchase this. I have tried and am wondering if it is not available in the UK yet? Has anyone used this version on their Apple Mac?
I am also wondering if it is possible to load my XP version into my Mac? I seem to be full of questions to-day! I do like GCF and it is so user friendly. There are so many ways to use the images on your cards which I have also done many times in the past.
Bon Bon
