Mine occupies 1.76 GB for two bootable eCS partitions. (I made the mistake of creating a maintenance partition like I used to do in the olden days, which turns out to have been completely unnecessary.) -- John Varela

So if my soul is so important that He was willing to die for me, then surely He can stop by on Thursday afternoon for a chat. He'll have to convince me that He is who He says He is. But that shouldn't be hard for an all powerful, all knowing deity. But John, you don't need to worry too much because my atheism isn't directed at your god. The god that I don't believe in is very different. Your "love me or burn" god doesn't even merit enough consideration for me to even reject.

You can meet Jesus H Christ at a old vinyl record shop in Cohog in Connecticut. There was a documentary about Peter Griffin finding him there and he even invited him to have dinner at his home with his family. He made Lois (Peter's wife) breasts much bigger to prove he could do miracles.

Before my latest upgrade, I read reviews and found one with statistics showing an incredible speed increase with the newer version of Parallels. But on my computer, it's slower than ever. I did upgrade it the same time as I upgraded to Snow Leopard, so I can't say where the problem is. I also hate the support I got with Parallels on an earlier version when I lost a VPN. My main point though is that you can't count on someone else's experience to apply to you. (which didn't stop me from listening). -- "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." - James Madison

It's obsolete in many ways but I still like it better than any of the Mac native newsreaders I've tried. I started with Parallels 3, which worked perfectly well except there was no Windows sound and the utility to port the clipboard only worked in one direction. Snow Leopard broke P3 so I had to upgrade to 4. Windows sound still didn't work, the clipboard porting now didn't work at all, and the clock no longer updated, which played havoc with programs such as ProNews/2 that use the clock to seed random numbers. Parallels 4, however, added the ability to suspend the virtual machine, which is nice. On a whim and a money-back guarantee I upgraded to Parallels 5. No change from 4 except that now the clock works (removing what had been a real nuisance) and it seems faster to me. -- John Varela |
