I am Jake Clawson, Chance Furlong's best buddy. At his suggestion,
I thought I would take a look around here, and Chance was right. Those
Windoze advocates are so lame in their attempts at Windoze advocacy.
Almost as funny as watching Skaredy Kat cartoons on TV. I think I will
stick around and get some laughs at the Winfishes' expense. I may get to
love it here.

Run them under Windows XP on a Mac (BootCamp, Parallels, VMWare Fusion).
But make sure to leave the computer plugged in.

Since we went Mac at work I'm looking at getting a Mac laptop so I can
get to know the system better. I guess I'm one of those people who are
'forced' to get the same kind of computet I have at work that you guys
like to pretend exist. 8)
Anyway, I 've been looking at the MacBooks. Am I missing something or
is there no difference specification-wise between the higher priced
white MacBook and the black one? Does the extra $200 get me anything
besides a black case?

With all the problems others have reported I have been running it via
Parallels and have not had any problems with it (well, other than it being
Windows... hee hee).
I am installing it now on VMware... I shall see how it does there. I did
have to uninstall IE 8 beta before installing SP3, and the error message I
got was screwy - it said I needed IE 5.5 or newer (not exact wording).
Well, the IE 8 beta is newer. Not a big deal - though I can see where it
could confuse some users.
