Re: [CGUYS] Windows 7 and Windows XP mode
Quoting Fred Jones fredjone...@softhome.net: Thanks for the replies. The old program I need (want) is called Accpac Plus Accounting. I've had it for about 20+ years and have several different businesses accounting data on it. The program is expensive and I never liked the newer versions that much so I continue to use the old one. I think I will give the XP Mode a try as much to learn about it and then maybe run the accounting program too. Thanks again. Well, hell. You can always keep an old box alive (or dual boot) just to have DOS installed with your accounting program. It certainly wouldn't take a very modern system. Maybe get a KVM switch to bounce back and forth. *** ** THIS LIST HAS MOVED TO YAHOO** ** PLEASE JOIN THE DISCUSSION THERE ** ** Info at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ***

But then you have the problems with printers etc. Many modern printers only print from USB ports etc. Stewart At 06:00 AM 7/21/2010, you wrote: Quoting Fred Jones fredjone...@softhome.net: Thanks for the replies.

Re: [CGUYS] Windows 7 and Windows XP mode
Doesn't M$ provide virtualization? I recall they bought out the original company that sold Virtual PC for the Mac (great product then M$ proceeded to destroy it). You should be able to run a virtual PC under Win7 and put XP on that. Worse case you could buy a Mac and run XP under a virtual PC on that. I think Sun offers this too. The advantage would be easier file transfer and possibly even ability to cut and paste between virtual and real environments. At least that is possible on the Mac. I would assume that M$ could do so ad well. Sent from my iPad Quoting Fred Jones fredjone...@softhome.net: Thanks for the replies. The old program I need (want) is called Accpac Plus Accounting.

My P3 450 even has a couple of USB ports. Of course, *DOS* probably doesn't do USB very well.

Re: [CGUYS] Windows 7 and Windows XP mode
It partially depends on the USB ports. I remember being able to make the USB ports be finable in DOS. But this was on older MB's. I would just prefer to run it all in one.

Re: [CGUYS] Re: Understanding the iPad
When a major change in computing is before us and all you geezers can do is whine about the good old days, I see nothing wrong with mocking you. In fact, it is my duty to do so. You have missed the boat. The train left the station. This parrot is no more. The iPad isn't a major change in computing hardware. It's old technology and very limited, almost crippled. The major change is that the system and device are closed, the store is censored, and the iPad is designed to suck money out of your wallet [according to Goldman Sachs] and make you fat. The train has left the station and the doors and windows are bolted and chained shut with the glass obscured and mirrored from the inside. Bye bye. Have a nice ride! See you when the next fad comes along. *** ** THIS LIST HAS MOVED TO YAHOO** ** PLEASE JOIN THE DISCUSSION THERE ** ** Info at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ***
