Hi there. I've been looking at running Windows on my Mac to play a couple
games and maybe to do a little streaming, probably with Stationplaylist. I
heard Sara's demo of Fusion and how incredibly bad the audio was almost like
a buffered stream or something. Is Parallels any better in this regard? How
is switching between Mac and the Windows virtual machine handled with
Parallels, and will it create conflicts with Jaws in hot key assignments?
This thing gave me trouble with trying Boot Camp under SL before, it's
probably from late 2007 or 08 and when it tells you to restart with the
Windows disk, it does, but stays on a blank screen with a flashing cursor
and no error no matter how long you wait, with two different XP disks, C on
startup, or any other way of telling it to boot from CD I know of. I called
Apple about this awhile ago, but they won't help me because the warranty I
had (all 6 months of it) when I got the thing used on Ebay was done for
anyways. There's no Apple store in my area. Is there any other way to force
windows xp down this thing since it's the laptop I have and the need is
still around for software that is Win only? I know it's definitely Intel, or
it says it is, never know with stuff you buy used, but it should be. Will I
get the multiple streams or whatever they call that where Jaws can mix with
whatever else I'm doing, running Parallels if I went that way? My dad
suggested that as he knew a guy for this company whose been using that for
awhile now. I don't know that they do much audio from the Windows side, but
I don't know how to take the HD out, stick it in a PC, and install Win XP on
the second partition that way to force it to do what Apple says is
supported.
Thanks.

Subject: Re: general Mac questions / Captchas
I don't have an answer for this, but I wonder... VO-Shift-M on a
picture will bring up a contextual menu. Could one put a send image
to Abby Reader as an acttion in there?
That would solve this problem.

My next question is regarding using the Web. Captchas-need I say more?
On
the Windows side, one would remedy this problem by downloading and using
Firefox with the Web Visum plug-in, which performed OCR on the captcha
image
and placed it on the clipboard for convenient pasting into the
appropriate
edit box. Also, if you didn't wish to use Firefox, there was usually an
audio alternative. I am trying to create an iChat account on the Mac.
Naturally, this requires the use of the AOL web site. Before I can
proceed
to create my account, the web site requires that a captcha be entered.
Although they provide an audio alternative, Safari is completely unable
to
use it and the link (upon checking) is java scripted. I know that
Firefox
is
not at all accessible on the Mac side (at least from the information I
received on this list), so are there any alternatives for captchas? Also
web-related, how do I go about obtaining Webkit-as some seem to think
this
a
better web browsing solution in general? Your contributions, time, and
patience are appreciated.
Thanks:)
