Thanks Csound1. Apple makes things so easy sometimes. I have never seen Windows test or flag software that was incompatible. That would be a great help for the average user. Sometimes I wonder how Microsoft software is so popular.

Excellent share. I had to do this once for a company that I worked for as well. I had forgotten about it however. Great memory! Thanks coocooforcocoapuffs.
Shot in the dark, as with ARD 3.5.1 had a problem with screen sharing and Lion, and this fixed it:
go to each failing client, system prefs / sharing and uncheck Remote Management and recheck it. Now try. Good luck!

MacBook Markerboard – anoved.net. Interesting idea. I never thought of this. I wouldn’t suggest people do it as a routine thing however. The pressure I would think would damage the screen. What do marker-boards cost now? $10?
So far so good comes the report. It is almost a given if people give the Mac a try they like it. It is beautiful to use isn’t it?
Well this argument makes sense, but I think many IT managers will feel burned with the loss of the Xserve RAID and the Xserve. I doubt they will invest their reputations again on what probably hurt them in credibility/value in the eyes of their employers.
I know when I worked at a company that invested in tens of thousands of dollars worth of Apple equipment, they were upset when Apple EOL’d the XRAID. It is a bitter pill to swallow for the person who make that decision.
NewerTech NuShelf lets you mount your Mac mini This is kind of goofy looking to me. Still if you have a Mac Mini or Apple TV or just need some extra storage you might benefit from buying it.
Pem’s Tech Blog » Dell Inspiron Zino HD vs. Apple Mac Mini, Linux. So yesterday I temporarily got a Dell Inspiron Zino HD to fix for a friend. She got a virus soon after buying it and Dell didn’t fix it even after two appointments that didn’t show up. Here is what I have learned.
It came with Windows 7, but no Windows 7 disk. Because my friend didn’t create a recovery CD, I had to call Dell for one. It took more than an hour on the phone and I was forwarded 3 times in order to be “approved” to get a CD. We will see if they send the CD in the 3 days they promised.
It doesn’t seem to work with any version of Linux I have used. PCLinux, Mint don’t boot. Ubuntu installed but when I shut it down it wouldn’t boot again. Also Ubuntu didn’t have a wireless driver and she needs wireless connectivity. All were the most current versions. I formatted the drive with Vista setup disk so I don’t suspect the virus causing this problem. I tried to install Vista and although it seemed to install it was very slow. It didn’t want to boot into Visa so I formatted it to Linux when Ubuntu installed. I have considered using Fedora or Sabayon but I haven’t decided if it is worth trying.
The Windows 7 home version is probably best for my friend. Still it seems that because she got a virus so quickly a better long-term strategy would be to use Linux. The problem is that she is she needs Microsoft Office and not really wanting to use a substitute. Since most people don’t like the dual-boot concept, the easiest thing for her would just to put Windows 7 back on. What distribution do you use that works with this Inspiron Zino HD or Inspiron 400 as Dell calls it?
Why Apple is No ‘Big Brother’ Cult of Mac. Does this make sense to you? What about if Mac hardware/software is required by your school or work? Does that make it any less of a concern?
