Right, I understand, I do think you've summarized Apple's point of view well. The "dealer" I bought my macs from is the Apple web site. Again, if you like this system where a company sells you broken stuff and doesn't apologize, I would welcome you as a customer. I have lots of...

Thanks Pengu, Good point, I know very little about XP, and that is likely at least part of the problem. I will try your suggestions, makes sense to me. Hmm. I wonder if the Apple store has VPC installed on any G5? If I could actually see VPC running on a G5 that might convince me to...

Hmm. Well OK, just for the sake of rant thread building :-) here's another little example from repeated personal experience that tells me that Apple is not too interested in hearing from us. If you haven't had this experience, and don't share my theory, that's OK, no problem, I'm just...

Wow, no kidding, that is cheap. Less than I paid for VirtualPC maybe, I forget. Those boxes have Linux installed on them, or no OS. Hmm, I might be able to install XP from the VirtualPC disks? I'm guessing the best thing for me might be to get a new entry level PC from the most...

Many thanks guys. I suspect you're right and that I will wind up buying a cheap PC. I'm guessing I'll never really be happy with VirtualPC until I have a G10 or something. Build a PC? Many thanks, but I don't want to run Windows _that_ bad. :-) Though it could be an interesting project...

Hi all, I have Virtual PC installed on an old G3 iMac. It is very very slow, but I use it sometimes to check web page in Windows. I now have a new G5 iMac, 1.8ghz 512 RAM. Of course Microsoft requires me to buy a new copy of Virtual PC if I want to run it on my G5. Wondering if...

Um, if important people at Apple were interested in hearing from us they would have easily accessible contact info on their own site? Example: Just last night I considered joining the iTunes affiliate program. Stingy details in the sales copy, and no way to contact an affiliate...

Hmm, this isn't going to be point and click easy, is it? This tutorial: http://www.cgi101.com/book/connect/mac.html says to edit this file: /etc/httpd/httpd.conf I've tried searching for that file many different ways, no such file found. I did find the Apache manual shipped with my...

Thanks for the warning, sounds like a problem I don't need. :-0

Ah, many thanks Andrew, this URL looks like the perfect starting place. Appreciate it. Good point, hadn't thought of that. To be brief, basically most of my scripts are based on reading and writing in/out of text file databases. Oh my, no can do. :-) I spend way too much time editing...

Hi all, I write perl scripts, and my development cycle is to make an edit, upload to a remote unix server, test, and then repeat. It's dawning on me I could probably run a web server on my OSX mac, and thus test my scripts on my own machine. But I have no clue how to set this up...

Hi guys, I'm looking for a simple and reliable text macro program. I type a key combination, the program spits out a chunk of text. An interface to add and edit macros. That's it. I used Keyquencer in OS 8 and 9 for years and it was great. I've tried these programs...
