Re: Anyone here use virtual PC?

Well, okay, but my point is that, as it looks to me, their goal was likely along the lines of building a product that will allow the minority of computer users (us Mac geeks) to run their immensely popular OS (Windows) in hopes that they can sell a few units. If it happens that a tiny fraction

Microswoft word blues

When I copy and paste into a word document I get a 'smart button' that offers me the choice of keeping the source format, or converting to the destination format. I always want to convert to the destination format. The button is always set to use the source format, so I always have t o fiddle

the lower left of my iBook (the 14" 1.2 g version) is overheating in that area as well (the Mac Genius at the local Apple Store said that's where the HD is located) -- it's a real pain in the neck: this is my 4th Mac laptop, and I've NEVER felt heat before. I smell a recall coming up... glad I

iBook 500 overclock

Hi, I've read some articles about overclocking the iBook 500 to 600 with a 100 MHz FSB. Has anyone tried this, and how did it work? How hard was it to do? -- G-Books is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com | Refurbished Drives | -- C

ibook G4 Heating

Hi All I'm new to the G-Books list. I am having a strange problem with my iBook G4 (1GHz, 14" 2003 model). In the bottom left hand corner (I think the CPU is here!), there is a sort of burn mark coming through. You have to look directly at it with a lamp to see it but it is starting to concern me!

Re: Successful overclock 250MHz -> 292MHz

Just an update. I've been using the machine like this for a bit and have found a slight problem. The machine appears to freeze due to the extra heat generated by cpu running the higher clock speed. BUT! I also see that the cooling fan _never_ turns on during normal operation. It's also never turne

Re: Anyone here use virtual PC?

The main question is WHY did M$ grab VPC? There isn't any reason except that VPC's ability to run non-M$ operating systems was a threat. Connectix had a version of VPC that ran under Windoze and the only way M$ could kill or control that was to grab VPC away from Connectix. It is also instructi

Are you seriously telling me that you think M$ will sell a version of VPC that will allow faultless running of Linux etc ? I am of the opinion that they will. They may not go out of their way to actively support it, but I don't believe that they will actively make something not work. Maybe I'm a
