Mac or PC
- To every blogger who commented on my Farmhouse Interview, A MILLION THANK YOU'S for your generous, supportive, wonderful comments. You are such angels. How did I get so damn lucky, huh?! Someone is lookin' out for Jewgirl and I am one grateful heeblette. Grazie.
- I am not breaking up with PC. Let me just put that out there. I am a PC / ThinkPad whore. I also needed a new lappytoppy. I bought a Mac laptop. Question, what the fuck?! I can't figure out how to use it. I'm trying. Mac users, Q4U, have you tried using it with with Windows Professional XP? Should I buy that? I hear that software turns your Mac into a PC. Thoughts? Spill.
- Who has a Mac trick or three hundred up their sleeves they'd like to impart? Spill.
- How was everyone's weekend?
- I'm now going to make myself horizontalish and play with my mactop.
- I heart You.
- I'm back into bullet points. Oy, I know.

Most engineers prefer PC and at the same time there are a few loyalists to the mac world. I will also say that engineers are the only ones I know who have left Mac for PC. A lot of eng. software is really better on PC. For me the downfall of the Mac was no right click. Silly, eh?
It's a different world in Mac and as such it is only reasonable that it would take some gettin' used to.
If you need a break then just set it down and have some lard, it makes people happy!
I hear what Eebie says, but once you go mac, you never go back.
Or at least I have not.
As for help... It is a process. Get your tuchas to the Genius Bar for some training.
I am one who learns by trying, frustrating but effective learning.
If I can help you give me a big shoutout.
FWIW, that software was not available when I had my "computer reassignment surgery", so I do not advocate it.
I just got myself Office for Mac and have been happily working away since 2003.
2. as long as you admit you're a pc whore, we forgive you. but as a devoted mac user, i question your sanity.
3. all my mac tricks have to do with downloading naughty pictures.
4. my weekend was great. just ask my son, with whom i spent the entire 48 hours attending to.
5. don't try the horizontalish thing at home unless you're under the supervision of an adult.
6. i heart you back.
7. bullets are better than bullshit.
ok, is the lard information council real? spill.
Does that help?
+x= cut
+c= copy
+v= paste
option+`, then e= è
option+shift+k=
good luck.
You could install 32-bit Vista instead of XP, but, err, I can't imagine why anyone would.
Here's Apple's page on BootCamp:

There are also a lot of good tutorials out there for it. I'm a PC guy, but I helped a friend out with a BootCamp install ~5 months ago, and it's truly easy. Actually easier than installing XP on my PC. Good luck!
