Win 98SE supported USB out of the box, but Win 98 (pre-SE) could be
upgraded to do so. I did it with my last computer.

Often if you go the manufactures web site you can
download drivers for the sticks.

I have used up to 1 GB size of these sticks with great

You can buy such an enclosure online for $20 or so.
Some of them come with more than one external interface. USB/ Firewire,
USB / eSATA etc... and either one or both controllers (IDE/PATA
SATA). The more options you get, the more you pay. I buy Speed Metal
or Rosewill brands.

Hi all,
I am posting this with great reluctance. While I am truly
wanting legitimate information, I know I am risking a lot
of posturing in the PC vs. Mac, MS vs. the world camps,
etc and would prefer to just get the straight info
without all the politics, posturing,
Are there different types of CD media (from Staples) out there?
Maybe a session with the Genius bar would help.
There are many kinds of optical media. New drives usually work with all
types so we don't see much frustration. Your old computer probably has a
drive that is old enough to be picky
There's about 2GB worth of stuff that may need
to be kept. I divided that up into 625-700MB directories and
the plan was to burn this stuff to CD's, make sure those are
readable and then nuke the drive. Win98SE can start Roxio
Easy CD Creator, but when I hit burn, I'm told incompatible

Rule of thumb as far as keyboard shortcuts go: if it is Control + key in
Windows chances are it is Apple (the command key) + the same key in
Mac. Using the option key + key gives you lesser used characters (such
as the symbol for pie). If you want a list of which Option + key does

As others have pointed out, there is no risk in switching to a Mac,
as it can boot XP and Vista natively via Boot Camp, or you can
run Windows inside OS X as a virtual machine using Parallels,
VMware, VirtualBox, or other virtualization software. If it turns
out that you really don't like OS X

So my questions relate to what is the real-world experience of Mac users in

Where you may hit a snag is the deceptively simple case of a text
file. Should you produce a text file with one of the Mac-native apps
(such as TextEdit), then attempt to read it on a Windows machine, you
will discover one of the primary differences between Macs and
Windows: line ending

I do find it interesting that a reason cited to buy a Mac is that you
can run Windows on it.
Nobody wrote that. The question is whether it is possible to move up to a
better platform and not be held back by the need to interoperate with
apps of the past.
Analogously, after a long stretch in
I think Macs are generally better (than PC's w. XP) in most respects
except except for one... ironically, the desktop / user interface.
Have we got a deal for you! Just about the only big change reported for
Windows 7 (other than the name change) is a more Mac-like user interface.

Actually it was cited more then once.

There are many people who make a living developing Access databases and

While Quark may be the program of choice for things that Publisher can
do, Quark is available for both the Mac and the PC. Publisher is
frequently used by professionals
A Mac will run Windows fine these days, so don't worry about
compatibility with Windows - you don't have to use Mac OS at all (many
don't). If you really mean you want to try the Mac *OS*, then you may
be able to install it on your current PC. See

Michael,
I use a Mac at home and a PC at work (as does my wife). My
wife and I run a small non-profit using the Mac. The only time I need
to emulate a PC (which you can easily do with programs like Parallels or
VN Ware) is when I need to work/read an Access document or a

So you pay for a Mac and the Mac operating system because you like Macs,
then you pay for Parallels and Windows XP so you can do your work.
