...maybe the amount they will actually charge you as opposed to how much they say they will:rolleyes:

Oh go on then. I suppose you meant well :D

I've never even touched the f keys over the number keys or that one with the squggles next to 1 ....§ ± this one! what does § mean? Most useful key for me is delete key, but I think hte help key would be equally useful but I don't know where it is and I've never hit it accidently :?

Bump? ETA: OMG! 100 posts! :D do I get a prize or something?

Take a smack bad boy! I was starting to feel smug at (a) understanding something and (b) feeling safe having stinky windows on my lovely MB! Fryke and Viro can have a beer for being helpful though :D

Cheers fryke, though I don't know what you mean by windows can't mount the mac's partition. I can restart the computer in osx from the windows side, is that what you mean? Though I guess it doesn't matter really. I have got an anti-virus thing and they guy who installed it keeps reminding me...

I know that there are issues with viruses via VPC, but if I get a virus on my windows partition can it mess up my mac partition? Also, if I turn off the wireless BB connection on windows, does that mean it is totally off or can bad stuff still get through via the wireless connection on the mac...

OK, I have managed to install windows xp via bootcamp on my MB and I also installed the mac driver disk I made before installation. It all seems to work fine but sometimes the pointer is 'sticky'. It just won't move or moves very slowly. I have tried moving it with the button pressed down...

Oh go on then, you've been very patient and helpful as well (cracks a Budweiser - the real one, and slides along to Viro) :D

it is available for mac BUT you can't use it on intel macs. apparantly one's coming out in 2007. In the meantime I'm going to use a (probably pirated - I'm not paying for a hideous old goat either!) copy of xp and run it via bootcamp and then use the windows version of spss. a gal can...

LOL! I do my best to avoid quant research. I'm a touchy-feely researcher by inclination, but if I ever do look like having to do any quant stuff I'll bear your suggestions in mind. :)

my father in law tells them he's naked. Says it works every time. I tried it and it didn't. Must be a gender thing :rolleyes:

Thanks for the responses. The IT guys at uni won't loan, rent, sell, or give me windows, so I'm leaving it to my lecturer. I'm hoping it means I can actually avoid the whole quantitative research stats modules (well I can dream can't I? :))

Nah, I just write reams of boring stuff on social philosophy and research. Maybe I should check out text edit, though it looks like I'm gonna have to run windows xp via bootcamp to run spss anyway. I can't wait till these stupid computer based modules are over and I can just go back to the...

Thanks for that. Hadn't occured to me (in my ranting on other threads about my intel teething pains) that I could get a cheap or free copy of windows. I'll go and see 'em. Feeling slightly less freaked out now :)

I don't want a pc! And I already have Office for mac. I just hate using it. The whole reason my first and only computer has been a mac is because I found windows confusing and difficult to use. I take your point about pcs not coming with office or whatever. I have to use word docs...

I didn't need to buy appleworks with my imac. Seriously, I find it almost inconceivable that text edit is the only bit of wordprocessing software on macs now. Seems just plain stupid to me. :(

so I don't get a wordprocessing package thrown in for free? you are kidding right? Actually you aren't, I just looked on the apple tech spec for tiger. You know, I was so excited to get this macbook, but it is turning into a flipping pain in hte proverbial. I don't want to make crap...

I don't seem to be able to find appleworks on my macbook. After spending time trying to import and generally playing around with it (photobooth is tooo distracting!), I have finally decided I have to do some real work, but I can't find appleworks! I trashed a load of foreign language...

given the problems I'm having with simply trashing stuff and finding basic things like appleworks, I think programming is waaaay beyond me. Even clicking buttons seems to land me in a mess. I've emailed the links you sent me to the Dr though, so I'll see what she says. Thanks for taking the...
