I know I've become a Mac snob, but man oh man does having to use Windows make me miss Leopard. (And why am I using Windows, you may ask? Because I am addicted to Dr. Who and just realized I can watch it instantly via Netflix...but only on a Windows-based PC. Curses!)

Oh, speaking of mac and windows. There is an app at work that seems to require Win98. Can I install that on the mac, and make a triple boot machine? Is that with Parallels only? Since I found the OS install disks with code, and the old computer bit the big byte in the sky, seems only fair to do it. Just not sure if possible. I know I can do XP or Vista, which I also will be doing (XP).

I'm pretty sure you'll have a hard time getting windows 98 to run on modern hardware of any sort.

Looks like there is a way to do it with Parallels 3.0, but it looks pretty involved. Here's a site that walks you through it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Doctor Who is on the iTunes Store now.

Hey. New board.
but only on a Windows-based PC
I got annoyed enough by this that i just spent $99 on this Netflix break-out box (which, since I don't have Parallels or any sort of Windows license, is not too bad) It should arrive this week. My hope is that it works well enough i can downgrade to 2-at-a-time, which will make my netflix subscription an even better deal.

We should start a pool. Or bet on which lasts longer, Daniel's data transfer or the new Natter.

Longer? Put me down for $2 on data transfer. Them folks in Natter talk a LOT.
It being summer and all, can we have a side bet started about a thunderstorm killing power?
WHAT? I'm not evil! If we say it out loud, it vexes it and makes it not happen. Think carrying an umbrella to keep the rain away. Maybe I watched "World According To Garp" too many times as a kid.

For anyone who, like me, is thinking about getting a relatively cheap (under $1000) laptop soon, the Chicago Tribune has a back-to-school look at what's available.
