Re: using crossover

2012-03-06 Thread Scott Howell
As far as I know it is not accessible. You would be better off going with 
VMWare's Fusion and stay away from Parallels.

 Hi all.
 I've just played briefly with the messages public beta and everything looks 
 great.
 One thing that's really rad is that you can easily put emojies in to you're 
 messages without having to jump through any hoops. The best part of this is 
 that VoiceOver reads the different emojies.
 Hope you find this useful,
 Matthew Campbell.

 I wonder if I can go from 10.6.8 to 10.8--seems to make more sense to wait 
 for the mountain kitty at this point.

 Absolutely. If you can get a monitor, that is obviously the easiest 
 solution. In my situation, I don't have the space for a monitor with the 
 current setup. So, the converter box and adaptor fit the bill. However, I do 
 have a monitor around in case I need sighted assistance. I just wanted folks 
 to know that there is a setup that will work if they don't have a monitor 
 and that Apple is not completely aware that the newer Minis still can't work 
 well without a monitor. Please contact me off list if anyone wants the 
 actual hardware recommendations that were suggested to me and I now use.

 Hi Esther,
 Thanks for saving me the effort of digging up Chris's info. I have it around 
 here, but I can never remember which folder I saved it to. *smile*

 Thank you for this tip. I have a mac book and lately my finder was extremely 
 slow. I removed drop box from the log in and every thing is good now. Again 
 thank you.

 Cheapest monitor I could find with shipping and all was pushing $100 so 
 it's not a whole lot cheaper to go the adapter route, but $40 is $40, 
 especially if you don't have room.

 Do you already have another computer with a monitor? If so a VM switch
 would be way to go.
