    in Quickbooks from Windows to Mac Comment by pubguy February 2005
  • I'm using Quickbooks Pro 2005 for the Mac. On this latest version, Intuit has updated the Mac version to a point that the menus between the Mac and PC version are the same. When you open a Windows version on the Mac, it creates a copy and converts i…

    in Apple's strategy with software serial numbers. Comment by pubguy February 2005
  • As was articulated much better than I could, Mac OS X is secure by design, not by obscurity. The UNIX that OS X is built on has been around for years. The majority of web servers are UNIX-based. So, it's not all that obscure. Additionally, unlike…

  • Congrats! There are plenty to explore with all the quality stuff that comes loaded on the Mac. Take some time to check out all the apps you've got. You can also go to Apples site to the OS X downloads section to find a lot of shareware/freewar…

  • I can answer the VPC question. If you already have a Microsoft License and have the original Windows install CD, then you can just by the "Virtual PC with Mac Version 7" From Microsoft's web site: "Have your own licensed copy of Microsoft Windows…

  • Mapping Software for Mac OS X = Route 66 http://rs108.66.com/route66/products...c=0&prodid=716 As far as an inexpensive laptop, I check the Apple on-line store often and do searches using the keyword "refurb". Have found some great deals and…

  • Well, here's another tip that very few people know about: Highlight any text on your screen, then click and hold it for at least a second, then drag it to your desktop. It creates a text clipping. Think of it as a copy-paste in suspended annimati…

    in Fastest OS for VPC7? Comment by pubguy January 2005
