FYI it also crashes Linux Computers! This is not an OS problem as much as it is a design flaw.

mac is garbage, anyone that tries to use a mac is trying to be different.
I associate macs with bads and ultra bad n00bs. MAC = CRAP |

For the Garmin, Ascent from Montebello Software does a better job than PC solutions. |

Ok, I'll soon be in the market for a new computer.....so which is best for logging onto Bikeforums and checking out adult sites?
http://www.zonbu.com/home/index.htm The computer is tiny (about the size of a paper back), uses almost no power, makes no noise, and costs only $99.00 US. To get this price though you sign up for 2 years of updates and backups at $13/month, or you can buy the computer outright for $250. It runs Linux so you'll never get a virus or have to worry about security. |

It crashes my Windows PC. I suspect that Toporoute only works on Internet Explorer, which is another way of saying that the design is flawed and the developer is an idiot.

If you don't have your Linux kernel built the proper way, it can be vulnerable. Open source does not equate to security.

Is there a good Mac site out there that has good info on how to do things on a Mac? I'm not talking about the basic stuff like the apple key and keyboard shortcuts, but more advanced stuff. For instance, I'd be much more inclined to look at Macs if it has Remote desktop software I can use to connect with a home PC I use for connecting to my office and storing files.

Which remote desktop software do you use, Ron?

I just use the windows Remote Desktop Connection software. I use a laptop to connect into my file server which keeps a VPN connection to my office. I wouldn't mind installing other software on the file server that would allow Macs to connect. I just dont what it might be. I figure there must be sites out there that have all sorts of good info like this that goes beyond the basics.

It's more about interacting with the desktop rather than just file sharing. I just found Microsoft makes an RDC client for Mac which solves this problem.

Fixed it for you.
edit: but I must admit Macs are nice. |
PCs are cheaper only if you don't value your time.
Zing! |

I am a MAC junkie.... powerbook, Ipods and iphone...

PC at work.. cuz the software is only written for PC.. and Mac for everything else.
As soon as Macs are Intel-based.. i could boot up Windows XP via Parallels Desktop on my Mac and run the PC software i needed for work without having to use a PC. I finally donated my IBM Thinkpad to another friend.. man, I just realize how much better Macs are in terms of less headache and a much more stable system with a friendlier user-interface. If you're not using a Mac.. you are really missing out. |
