RE: OT - Anyone VM a Mac Leopard OS on a PC?

I took two Macs and ran them at home and at the office for a full year. Cool machines, ran both Mac and PC software on both. Still needed Outlook, no matter what I used, and I have/had full programs for both. Cute, but no cigar. Quit. Still have six Macs here at the Museum, but for those four which

Internet connectivity

My museum is disconnected from any other blocks by cable TV, so I cannot hook up to that without a $15,000 fee. I have FIOS at home and am loving it, even though they lied to me about connectivity and I cannot run test web sites from home and I send them way too much dough every month... Would a T

RE: USE OF MAC COMPUTERS IN WINDOWS ENVIRONMENT

The machines aren't any better, but it appears the graphics users like Macs more. When a Mac fails, they don't flinch, just look for me patiently. I have five Mac desktops and three Mac laptops here at the Museum. About eight or 10 have Macs at home too. For the in-house users, I give them an extra

RE: Password Policy - - how do you handle this?

At the last place I was at, a p .r. firm, an outside "computer expert group" recommended that we set everyone's password to password. I couldn't stop laughing, but the operating v.p. wasn't laughing, I recall. There are large groups of companies who do this, apparently. I left soon, for other r

Bridged T-1's

We own the block, so it would be very expensive to get Internet from a cable company, and Fios in DC is not yet available. I have been approached by a company offering to "bridge" two T-1's for our Internet. Anyone have this yet? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~
