[nfbmi-talk] Windows on the Mac?

[Scott Ford]

Hello everyone,

                Something really strange is happening to my messages from
the list under windows.  This just started this afternoon.  When I open a
message and read it in outlook, after I close the message it is
automatically deleted.  This sucks especially when I would like to respond
to a message.

                Running Windows on a Mac is very simple.  There are two ways
of doing this.  First one could procure VMware Fusion, this is an
application that will let you run Windows at the same time as when you are
running Mac osx.  I do not do this because the keyboard is not fun to work
with.  Many keystrokes are not passed through to the windows machine.  There
are several other reasons that I do not run this way.  I use what is called
bootcamp.  This little application sets the machine up to dual boot the
computer.  When you start the computer up you hold the option key down and
wait for a count of about 18, then arrow to the right once and then press
enter.  This will boot Windows.  If you do nothing Mac osx will boot by
default.  This can be changed within preference under Osx.  One must have a
copy of windows 7 in order to run bootcamp.  I believe that with OSX lion it
does not support winXP anymore.  Have a wonderfully splendid night, and I
hope that this helps.

Later,

Scott
