Default Mac->Virtual PC->SEIV?
Has anyone tried to use SEIV under Virtual PC on a Mac? I got a peek at a Christmas present early, and I hope that I can make SEIV work somehow on an iBook.

Fyron has a problem with "FisherPrice" like computers and operating systems. I think maybe one of their toys injured him as a child and has yet to get over it.

Apple used to be way ahead of Windows 15 - 18 years ago. But that was a LONG time ago... they really went downhill after that.

Really, have the receipt for the iBook handy
Macs are pretty sad excuses for a machine, IMO.
Sorry to mac lovers, but thats how it is.

Well,

As far as wanting a Mac, that is largely beside the point... you open the package and take your chances with family and Christmas.

And I agree about Apple Computer having a superior product a decade ago. Their smarter operating system (compared to Windows 3.1 back then) caused most of the changes in Microsoft's Windows that now make it actually useable.

I will still keep my collection of home-built PC's, I will still avoid XP, and now I will try and find something useful to do with this iBook.

Hadrian - you can turn off all the blue bubble crap if you want, but I havent
Look under toolbar options or something
the thing is XML based, I think, so if youre adventurous you can make your own skin
