    Fastest Vista machine is a Mac

    Vista and XP work fine on a Mac...it's not like you're emulating anything or running a virtual machine. The real difference is not from a hardware standpoint, it's that OS X is restricted from running on any machine. I don't know why people feel the need to act like fan boys...it's like 360 vs PS3 for older, nerdier people. Who cares?

    BTW, just copy and paste

    into a new window. It's funny, clicking on the direct link doesn't work but copying and pasting does. Anyways this place is usually money.

    SO TRUE! That or WiFi, even with NDISWRAPPER it's really hard to get going perfectly.

    is there a VirtualBox version for mac? thats what i use for my linux and i just have win2k on it for watching rox and messing with photoshop. You should look for software that will let you put a virtual machine on your computer and just put win2k on it.

    Yeah, I miss the old mms links that allowed me to expand the screen. But, there is a loss in resolution as you do that. The picture gets grainier and blurrier.

    That worked perfectly. I noticed that they also have archived games it says I can watch them on my media player it says Copy/Paste into Windows Media Player, Go to File - > Open URL. I cant find what they are talking about where is that button at on my media player.

    It is on the top menu bar. Click on File and a drop down box that has open URL will appear.

    Hey back in the 80s when I started with computer and programming as a Kid, there wasnt choice. It's Apple. I used it, programmed on it, administered it, and hate it. Maybe because Mac donated so much to university, it made me feel they were so cheap back when I was in college, there were Mac Labs, empty, and PC labs were always packed.

    You must not have WINDOWS Media Player. You might want to google it and download.

    If you are using OS X on your Mac, the latest version is 9. Microsoft decided to quit updating it a while back.

    I have version 9, and it has none of the rip, sync, urge stuff you mention, so we are missing each other on communication somewhere.
