Well sorry to hear you are having problems Fryke. I am up and running with the beta and it works really well PROVIDED you only install supported software. Which there isn't a huge choice of. But Office 2000 runs at (so far as i can tell) native speeds. I have tried other apps but so far only had...

Code weavers has released a beta of its Mac WINE software ..anyone care to check it out? http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/

Well Fryke I went ahead and bought a MacBook Pro... At first I thought MS RD was going to be viable. Within minutes I had XP running from my MacBook pro all around the house, wirelessly, even on my wife's ancient indigo iMac. Usable XP on a 350 iMac - amazing! And then ... Suddenly a...

OK, here is the answer it seems. I haven't tried it yet but a WindozeXP app called KeyTweek would seem to do the business. You can find it at http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/

The keyboard layout does seem to be a problem. I am still trying to work out why certain keys wont work - this must be down to the different Mac / PC layout. I don't have a PC keyboard to compare but I am wondering if there's a website out there that maps a key for key comparision. In fact, now...

I don't know whether I am confused or other posters here are. The link Spitty provides takes you to a college campus website, which doesn't appear to be the spoof site you guys are talking about. Or did I miss something? Admittedly his opinions are so ludicrously uninformed (Venkat's that is)...

What do we care about most here? Is it the OS or the applications? If popular software such as Photoshop or Word can be made to run seemlessly on the Mac - even if it takes Windows running in the background - where is the problem? You may ask - why bother running the MacOS at all then ...but...

Many will think me mad, but I want to run a Mac Mini Intel via remote desktop to my G4 1.25 Dual, so I can use Windows on my G4 at near native speeds. Of course you get the bonus of a speedy new Mac, too - probably faster than the G4. My question is, can this be done via Apple's remote...

Actually that's just ignorance. I wouldn't trust the staff at PC World to tell me if it was raining outside. They are there to sell, not to inform. Try John Lewis or an Apple Centre if you want genned-up info.

I could be wrong about this - but doesn't the new version of Toast (7) open/extract Video-TS files?

Good point ...but are there no DRM options using other iTunes friendly formats, such as mp3? Rather than WMA which is exclusively Microsoft?

Never underestimate the stupidity of large corporations. Often senior managers fail to listen to sound advice or simply think they know better. It is entirely possible that some big cheese at HMV imagines that because PC's dominate the computer market that is the way to go. Probably he/she...

Aych, there are loads of quality audio apps for the Mac ...ProTools (cross platform) is probably the best but there are literally dozens of other including the free Audacity which is good for basic tasks. I also use Cool Edit Pro which is PC only, via Virtual PC. It has a fabulous set of...

I recall a UK journalist (well informed as ever!) claiming when the iMac came out that Apple had boobed, because it had printer ports that were non standard! Apparently she had never heard of USB. Typical Apple she said, bringing out a computer that there are no peripherals for!

I believe the US army has a phrase for it ... If it looks like a Mac and it works like a Mac it's a go**amn Mac! However, I take your point djdouse, that no operating system has ever knocked Windoze off its pedestal. And I agree that there are dangers for Apple here. However, it is also...

fjdouse I have tried hard to follow your logic here, honest. Either I am just thick (quite possible) or it isn't being explained very well. What makes a "PC" a "PC" or a "Mac" a "Mac"? Is it a) the operating system, b) the processor chip, c) well built hardware, d) good industrial design...

I'm puzzled fjdouse. You seem to think that people will buy a Mac just to run Windows on it. Now that would be daft. But to have a Mac with the additional functionality of running a separate operating system, beit Windoze or Linux, just gives you options. You don't HAVE to do it, just like you...

"We have two widely accepted parties: Democrat and Republican. We also have Libertarian, which has a much smaller following, and Independent as well, meaning "all the rest." Anyone can run for President. You can even vote for your friend (a write-in). You don't have to be Democrat or...

Thanks Bleem2k, now I understand. Still some way to go before I get to be a Jedi knight though....

Hi, I thought I had understood but now I'm a little confused again. Folk are talking about a twisted pair - but I thought that was used for connecting Macs directly, port to port? Surely a standard Ethernet cable Cat 5 is all you need to connect to a router? Or are they perhaps the same...
