Vista Woes...
> Vista Home Premium seems more stable
than Ultimate but does not function well on a business network. So I
very much enjoyed this article:

Path Dependence I hope Vista will be improved by the time SP2 rolls
around...
Parallels looks really cool but when I ask the IT guys on the Mac
side of our organization they say it's nice but still has problems.
If Mac wants to attract away more Windows users from the current
generation of users I think they need to improve that software a
little bit because most users/businesses/organizations really need a
good set of training wheels to reassure them that the switch won't
spell disaster. And why no sub-menu mouse button - would it really
be so wrong to add that?
Sorry to hear about your Vista problems, but it's understandable since
we use Vista [Home Premium and Business] too.
I use a no-button mouse with my Mac. I also use Turly O'Connor's
FinderPop so I don't need to get a new mouse. Yes, there are contextual
submenus in Mac OS X, as well as Mac OS 8/9, but Apple requires that you
Control-click to see them if you don't have a two-button mouse. Turly
can't do that with a beer in one hand, so he wrote a utility that makes
the contextual menus appear when you just click and hold with one hand.
He can't afford a two-button mouse because he saves his spare change for
more beer.
Netscape had click-and-hold submenus--now Firefox and SeaMonkey also
have them. To enable them for FF2/3, in Location bar type about:config.
Find ui.click_hold_context_menus. Make value true. Does this work in
Windows too?
FinderPop is beer-ware: Turly prefers that you buy him two Beamish
and/or a Guinness.
