Quote:Using Word is the way someone told me how to do it. I tried to use Paint but there is no crop tool in Paint so it was pretty useless.
Crop? What would that do? If what you want is part of the screen, assuming it's a square isn't all you have to do is, in Paint, select the part of the image you want to keep, copy/cut it out, paste it into a new paint window, and save?
Quote:The Mac mouse does have a clickable mousewheel. On top of that the mousewheel can scroll in any of the compass directions as opposed to just vertically like standard PC mice.
I used it once, didn't notice the button... did notice how small it was, though. The four-direction scrolling is kind of nice, but it's weird... I want the buttons to be visible, it's a bit disorienting with a mouse with multiple buttons but without actual easily visible buttons to click... :)
Quote:Although you do have to buy your computer from Apple, you can buy a barebones computer and then add parts from 3rd party manufacturers. Pretty much everything sans the motherboard can be replaced. I might even be wrong about the motherboard not being replaceable, but I've never looked into it so I could be wrong.
For even more money? :)
(remember, Microsoft isn't Apple's enemy, it's what Apple wishes it was... :))
Quote:Exactly. It isn't emulation anymore, which was a huge problem with the old Virtual PC program. I was able to play games in Virtual PC, but they didn't run all that well. Apple switching to Intel solved a lot of problems, including comparing processor speeds. Now you can pretty much say that a 3GHz PC processor is that same speed as a 3GHz Mac processor if the PC uses the Core Duo.
I know I've heard Boot Camp has some issues, but yeah, I'm sure it's better than Virtual PC by far... doesn't fully help with the hardware issues that is (that is, you need Mac-compatible stuff, and that limits your options in some ways for sure)...
