RDC Software for 10.4?
I have my iMac running 10.4.11, and I want to be able to control it on my PC. I have no idea where to start with this, as I want it to run off the 100mbit Lan that i've got connected to it, and NTR uses the web, which is alot of wasted bandwidth. I have no idea where to start, but I would like to mention that i've got a copy of a 10.4.11 compatible ARD admin half (got it from school, when they cleaned out the Mac lab), and I wonder if that would be useable on my PC. Any suggestions are welcome. -Christian. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: 10.4 causing problems with the wifi (again)
Christian, thanks for the info... I'm really excited about having win on my mac altho I'm a die-hard machead... I need win to test my website designs in ie 6-7 (somebody kill those, please!... oh, wait... ie 8 and win 7 are on that case) on xp, although browsershots.org is really helpful, to a point... the ms learning curve will seem less intimidating if it's sandboxed in my mac backyard... i do have some experience in xp though.

Re: 10.4 causing problems with the wifi (again)
Since VPC is made by Bloatware itself, (aka Microsoft) it runs VERY VERY slowly. Our 667Mhz Mac had trouble running XP with VPC.

It was slow BECAUSE IT'S AN EMULATOR. Every single bit of machine code that goes into running things has to be translated to the host CPU. It was just as slow when it was made by Connectix. VirtualBox, Parallels or Fusion are NOT emulators. They are Virtual Machines, which is something considerably different. The code i them runs at nearly native speeds since no translation needs to be done. Systems run on hypervisors are even faster. I can run four or five servers on one decent box with modern hypervisors like Xen. Heck, on the appropriate hardware (like an IBM Mainframe) I can run *hundreds*. IBM claims that with the appropriate hardware you can run over a thousand Linux servers on one of it's modern mainframes. -- Bruce Johnson Wherever you go, there you are B.

Re: 10.4 causing problems with the wifi (again)
Yeah, the min speed on a mac for reasonable VPC 7.0.3 performance with WinXP pro is 700MHz.. my Quicksilver is 800mhz... if it's too slow (but nothing was slower for me than my first mac, a 25MHz Quadra 610) I'll load VPC up on my 1.6GHz titanium powerbook Bruce Johnson wrote: On Dec 12, 2009, at 1:36 PM, Christian Wacker wrote: (It will be interesting to see if a 350mhz PPC can run windows 7 as well as my 3.2ghz DualCore AMD system) No it won't be interesting at all, unless by 'interesting' and 'run as well as' you mean 'enormously boring' and 'because it takes four days to boot up'. ;-) It will run Windows 7 (if at all) about as well as a Pentium 166 would (if at all).

Re: Video Capture
Hi Amanda, I tried this a few years ago, with some luck. I am sure eventually comcast will make these ports accessible, until then, I have gone with a TV Tuner card (PCI for desktop, or USB for Laptop).

In the beginning I used Adobe Pagemill for web design... it served me really well... even today the sites I created are working fine in the modern browsers and dead ones too. Nowadays I use Adobe Dreamweaver CS4. It's awesome, all web standards-compliant css and js. No more wrestling with tables in PageMill for me! I haven't used PageMill before, but I'm looking for a OS 10.4.11 compatible Adobe Dreamweaver product, since i'm accustomed to CS3, and enjoy working with it (but I don't always feel like booting up my pc, because there are too many distractions) Those non-mainstream browsers like SeaMonkey, Camino and even Opera are not important in the business world... most businesses still use WinXp and probably IE 6. Hopefully Win 7 with IE 8 will change that soon. Actually Firefox has about 47% market share on PC and I think IE 6 has dropped to about 18% which is encouraging news for web designers. But I can see testing in many browsers like you do if you are designing for non-business, social sites. I test all those, because I know people who use them, and I have a section that is devoted to older Mac stuff (Still not revocered from the server crash) and I want it to work on a browser designed for older macs. -Christian -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
