Hmmmm. So you have a PC keyboard plugged into a Mac?

ETA: I am told by Macworld that this program will make your PC keyboard behave like a Mac keyboard.

So you have a PC keyboard plugged into a Mac?

Yep. Crux of the problem right there. My Mac and my PC are time sharing peripherals.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I think I have an extra Mac keyboard, here. Hm. I wish I remembered to give it to you earlier!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Bill Wyman also now exists in this select set.

Yeah, but Wyman was almost sixty when he quit.

The Pretenders are probably the all-time greatest Most Dangerous Group, killing off 50% of its manpower - in their prime - within a year.

I still remember Duke's line in Doonesbury about how the Allman Brothers were disbanding by attrition. Badfinger was another unlucky band.

Or! Bring your mini when you come over. We can try to replicate and then solve the issue with my PC.

Plus, we all get to play with the mini.

May I post a link at the OB?

I know it's a pipe dream but I'd really love it if the link went no further than this thread. It seems I've already gotten eight vists from Fox this month and I'm not sure I want to know what a C&D letter feels like.

Allyson, the mac keyboard would cause other issues, I think.

Okay. I solved my keyboard issue. And I also solved my test drive copy of Word overiding my actualy copy of Word issue too. But I'll bring the mini anyway, cause CUTE!

Between the mini, and the two shuffles and the ipod, it feels like we are becoming an Apple household again.

Weird.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

No problem, Kristen. That is why I asked. I am just glad that I get to see the goodies. I am sure everyone else will in time and there are really only a few people over there who are as interested in this as I am.

I want a mini. Actually, I want two. One for my house and one for my car...Oh! And possibly one for the plasma TV I will someday own.

Yeah. I really need to stop visiting byodkm.net

you mean a Mac Mini, right?

What's byodkm.net?

Oh. figgered it out. Henh. Apparently they do go in cars.

What else can I do with a mac mini?


Kristen - Mar 20, 2005 7:04:50 pm PST #5387 of 10001

Yes, I do. I thought I could use one mini as like a little server for all the files I don't need to carry around on the Shiny!PowerBook!of!Fabulousness! I've been trying to get a free one but I still need two more people.

And byodkm.net is a mac mini fansite. They post all the latest mac mini stories. There's a bunch of people who have put them in their cars. And there was a story the other day about a company that is doing custom coloring of the cases.

I think one of my imaginary mac minis is pink.
