    Which virtualization would work best for my situation?

    I have 4 gigs of RAM. In reading over the Parallels manual I do not see where it allows one to migrate from a real (non-virtual) XP machine but Fusion does (according to the manual). I am thinking of going with that. What about vbox, will that allow you to do that?

    Which virtualization would work best for my situation?

    I have downloaded all of them. With my 100mb connection, it took only a few seconds. I have yet to install any of them. I prefer not to and rather just wanted to see the manuals at this point. My first impression is that the Parallels and VMWare Fusion manuals are more user friendly than...

    Which virtualization would work best for my situation?

    I have a 24" Intel Mac running 10.5.6 in English. I need to run a purely Japanese software (it's a database) that has to run on the Japanese version of XP (which I have). It won't run on the English version of XP. I prefer to do this in virtualization so I can jump back and forth. Which...

    G4 desktop blower is always blowing

    As it turns out, both machines are MDD. One is much louder than the other. I am planning to retire one so perhaps I should just swap the fans. I am used to repairing 2000 watt linear amplifiers with the power turned on so this should not be too difficult for me. Yesterday I used a vacuum...

    G4 desktop blower is always blowing

    Based on ElDiabloConCaca's links, it looks like I have an MDD. My secretary must be using the Quicksilver (not sure why they call it that - should be the other way around - I think). Anyway, her blower is much more quiet than mine. Also, my MDD is very loud at startup. The musical chime you...

    G4 desktop blower is always blowing

    Is there a way to recognize a Quicksilver/MDD? If I am not mistaken, there were some machines that had all silver fronts for a short time. I think those came out a little after mine. I am at home now. I can check more tomorrow. How many fans are there? I will have to check which one...

    G4 desktop blower is always blowing

    My G4 is not a MDD/quicksilver. Mine was built before Panther came out.

    G4 desktop blower is always blowing

    I'll give that try. I have an air compressor! However, I rather suspect that the problem is that it thinks the machine is hot even when it is not. I called Apple and they said it is too old to fix. No parts. One way or other, they'll get your money!

    Any good Mac word processing software out there?

    I do not like word but need something for Mac that is easy to use and has a few bells and whistles but not too much junk either. I need a word processing software which can handle both English and Japanese on the same line. Japanese is double-byte characters.

    G4 desktop blower is always blowing

    I just bought a new iMac and it is really quiet. But I don't intend to retire my old G4 desktop. The olny thing that bothers me is the blower. It is always on even if I am not working on the machine. When I put it to sleep the blower goes off. I have another G4 desktop (slightly older)...

    Going from Panther to Leopard

    Little by little I am getting things set up and enjoying my new toy. I have a question about how MAIL is different from MAIL in Panther. In Panther, I see a small circular thing on the upper right of the message viewer that goes around when it is checking for messages. With MAIL on Leopard it...

    academic software license question

    If a student obtains a special academic discount on some software and then gives the software to a friend as a gift, does that break any laws? Or, is this something that has the potential to back fire on both parties?

    Going from Panther to Leopard

    Are there any other must-have software products I would need for Intel Mac (Leopard)? I installed WindowShade as I have been using it for the past 15 years. What about the function keys? Do I need software like X-keys in order to be able to set function keys to open applications? What about...

    Going from Panther to Leopard

    Does anyone know if I can upgrade from Illustrator 10? I don't care if I can't upgrade to CS4. I just want a version that will work on Leopard. According to the Adobe website, if you want to upgarde to Illustrator CS4, you need to have"Adobe Illustrator CS3, CS2, or CS; or Macromedia®...

    Going from Panther to Leopard

    OK, I went out today and bought a 24" iMac with 4MB of ram. Before I even take it out of the box, I have some questions. I was thinking of partitioning the HD and installing windows on one of the partitions. I do not expect to use Windows very often. Therefore I am wondering if it might be...

    Going from Panther to Leopard

    I have a G4 Mac (10.3.9) and have decided to throw in the towel and get a new machine. One thing I would like to know about is if Leopard can create .pdf files in the print dialog box like Panther does. I like Preview more than Acrobat. I have Illustrator 10 and Photoshop Elements 2.0...

    How can I sync two Macs using an external drive?

    I have a Mac at home and one at work. They are both Panthers and about 4 or 5 years old (still run great). The two machines are sort of growing apart from one and other as far as the data contained on each machine. Some is very similar and some isn't. Like I said, they are growing apart...
