Hello everybody It is traditional when new members join the Mac Access Dot Net email forum that Gordon and I try to welcome the new member(s) personally. However, we have revised this policy slightly; if the new subscriber does not provide us with a full name, we now assume a wish for a degree of anonymity and so do not send the welcome messages. In keeping with that tradition, we are delighted to welcome: Alex Larg to our number. We are gratified by the fact that Mac Access is growing globally. We hope that you will find Mac-Access@mac-access.net a pleasant, friendly and worthwhile place to be. In here you will find a wealth of knowledge, and people with a variety of skill levels ranging from the total novice, to the application developers with advanced skills. Then there are those who don't yet own a Mac, but have a keen interest. We hope you will feel free to post your questions and constructive comment, whatever your skill levels may be. Be assured, there will be none of the ridiculing and flaming which we know takes place in other groups. That kind of behaviour is not tolerated in Mac-Access.
Anything Mac OS and iOS is on topic for this group. In the case of virtualisation applications such as Fusion and Parallels Desktop, the configuration of the applications themselves, plus the configuration of the virtual machines is on topic. However, the configuration of Windows or any other operating systems within that virtual machine is off topic. The exception to that is if you're using another instance of OSX within the virtual machine. If your host operating system is not Mac OS, then only the guest operating system is valid list content. This has always been a bit of a grey area; but we hope this clarifies the position. If you have any list-related queries, please do not hesitate to contact either Gordon and myself, (the list owners), at <supp...@mac-access.net>, or one of our very capable assistant list controllers; Anne Robertson, <a...@anarchie.org.uk> or James Austin, <james.aus...@mac-access.net> and we will be happy to help you. Once again, a very warm welcome to the group. We hope you find your membership an enjoyable experience. Finally, I would like to add that currently, we are offering all Mac-Access. members the opportunity to purchase the Take Control Of Your Mac publications, published by Tidbits.com, at an eighty per cent discount.
