'Objects In Space'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
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 you have the standard edition, you can only install it once, but the educational version can be installed on three different machines.
Did I mention that I'm a big geek?
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.
What's a good company for dialup internet access where you only pay by the hour? (Or by the minute. Whatever.)
eta: Also, what's a good email hosting company?
By the looks of it, we'll need a new Tech thread in a few months. I propose:
Buffistatechnology 11, going on 100.
OK, that'll probably be too confusing. But it just popped into my head so I had to send it out over the internets.

I did do that!
Status: POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since 3/20/05
So I have no bleeding clue what's going on.
Also, my gmail account gets an impressive amount of spam given that I've never given out the address anywhere.
