[Discussion] [MAC]

The MAC thread has been quiet.

Ernie have you found this to be so because everything works? Have you 
chosen an emualtor? I picked VMWare Fusion out of ignorance - it was 
there on the shelf and I was primarily fociused on getting my taxes 
filed, having already purchased the windows program. Actually there are 
not any Mac programs available so next year I will likely do it all online.
If you want to run an older Warp desktop, you have to buy Parallels.

I installed Firefox and Thunderbird for browsing and email. They work 
well. But if you are in an Apple app like iPhoto and select email, tthe 
link goes to Mail even though Thunderbird is acknowledged as the 
default. Better to add objects to messages from within Thunderbird.

I was trying to look at a traffic webcam and Firefox would not talk to 
the Flip4Mac plugin. I brought it in through Safari and was able to 
watch the traffic sliding about. The next time I launched Firefox, the 
plugin was there and active.

NeoOffice as noted before is pretty good and so far handles every MS 
file I have thrown at it.
