Works fine for me like any other mouse on both Macs and Windows, no problems. Had it for about a month, very little often do I see the mouse moving across (particularly up) the screen as with a mind of it's own, but my desk is uneven! Thanks be to the makers Kensington for that great mouse!

Like Tiger before it, Leopard is worth every penny. Time machine works seamlessly (if you don't make the same mistake I did and use a LaCie drive for backup - it will fail sooner rather than later). Most new features are excellent. Unfortunately, the new X11 that ships with Leopard is badly messed up (at least when I installed it a while ago). Luckily, you can download the latest build from http://xquartz.macosforge.org is you need to use X11 professionally. Overall, Leopard is great and worth the upgrade!

The Mac mini is really terrific! I previously had a Mac G4 that I
loved. This is 10X better with lots of new programs, and super fast!

I've used other PC keyboards, including the semi-curved MS keyboard, and this Apple keyboard is the easiest, soft touch and tactile product I've used, yet. It's lightweight and, yet, has a very solid feel to it. Put it on your lap or on your desk, it's the best I've used.

When I got the Macally ICEkey keyboard, I thought it was great. Sure it's a little bigger than Apple's aluminum keyboards, but the keys are very responsive and the size issue was worth the savings. Not so sure now... turns out Macally won't be issuing any drivers to make the volume keys (and other features) work with Intel Macs. Kinda pointless if you're making keyboards designed only for the previous generation of Macs... Still, it does work fine. I just hope it doesn't discolor like my old iBook G4 did.

I'm particularly pleased with Microsoft Office 2008, because it enables me to download the Attachments I receive without any of the problems I had previously. It was a good investment for a 91-year-old woman who likes to keep in touch with family and friends.












































7.VMware Fusion [OLD VERSION] from: Smith Micro Software Inc.
August 20, 2007
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

>>More Details
 : VMware Fusion [OLD VERSION]
I bought this for my work MacBook so that I could continue to run a few essential XP applications.

Pros:
* Seamless XP App integration with Unity
* Free upgrade to 2.x
* Downloadable utility to import your old Windows PC image saves a ton of reinstall work.
* Plenty of available VMware images containing Open Source OS's available to tinker with.

Cons:
* Watch the fine print on the rebate - I sent mine in > 30 days later and the request was denied. One would think hanging onto the funds a bit longer would mean more interest earned.
* If your Mac crashes while your guest is open, be prepared to recover the guest disk image from backup.
* Adequate guest performance requires a substantial amount of host memory if you plan on running Mac native apps as well.

I've had Parallels 3.0 for about a year now. I would NOT recommend this product to anyone.

Not only does running my Win XP virtual machine constantly crash my MacBook Pro (I have to do a hard reboot), but I also frequently get out of virtual memory Monitor PE error messages. I have 4GB of RAM!!!! I have to reboot my MacBook and restart Parallels to get it going again. I emailed Parallels' tech support when I first got the product and NEVER heard back from them. Finally, various manufacturers' drivers CD auto installers will not run in Parallels. I had to manually load printer drivers, etc.

I got so sick and tired of Paralles crashing that I finally tried VMWare Fusion 2 for the past couple of weeks and so far, so good. I've been able to use CDs' auto installers, and so far, I've had no errors ... Read More

It's not bad for a cheap mouse, which was what I was after. But, it had a really bright red light under it, and the scroll wheel clicks really loudly. It feels cheap and performs the same. Oh well--
