Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, I'm posting this from Firefox 2.0 running on XP on my MacBook. Just because I'm a big geek. I'm using Parallels desktop to run XP and OS X at the same time.
Did I mention that I'm a big geek?

For MS Office, are you allowed to do two installations per copy (say, at home and at work) or just one now?

When I tried to load it on my laptop (2nd install), I got told I could only use it 40 times without registering it, and when I tried registering it I got a message telling me that it was installed elsewhere and could only be used in one location.
If there is a workaround, I don't know it.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
If you have the standard edition, you can only install it once, but the educational version can be installed on three different machines.

I dunno, don't you need some Linux on that laptop too?

Heh. Yeah, actually I could easily do that. I could check out this 'Ubuntu' that all the kids are into these days. Or go all retro and install Slackware.
Come to think of it, my other Intel machine (HP) is kinda' flakey. I have Fedora on that but I never use it. So maybe I should stick Linux on the MacBook.

Fedora 6 is probably the best for MacBook one of the objectives of Fedora 6 was to improve support for Intel Macs.

Ooh, good to know. Thanks.
I wonder if using Parallels makes a difference, as with that the "guest OS" is running on a virtual machine instead of actual hardware....

P-C, did you get your Outlook issue fixed? This may be very obvious, but did you enable pop access on your gmail acct? That is the main reason why most people I know can't download their email via pop using outlook.
