Instead of just adding an audio narration file to Keynote, I want to narrate the presentation WHILE I am creating the presentation. Can I do this with installing any additional software? Or should I buy SnapzPro or ProfCast? Thanks!

Comcast users: Does anyone know why I am paying more than $79 a month for Comcast ISP (no cable TV)? Is it because I live in California and Comcast rates vary regionally?

Argghh. That is what I installed. And when you hit ENTER it took you in, right? I did a TYPICAL installation in Parallels and it assigned 256 MB. Did you do a customize installation? Maybe I don't have enough memory yet. I have 1 GB but Win XP was already running. I'll try (a) quitting Win XP...

Thanks for the tip rwilkerson. I tried this but I still have the same problem at login (hit Enter and nothing happens). Would you kindly tell me which version/distribution of Ubuntu 6.10 you are using? There seems to be three: One for PC and Laptops, one for PowerPC, and one for AMD and 64bit...

Tried installing Ubuntu 6.10 with Parallels. I am downloading a version that is suppose to be for desktop PCs and laptops that has "386" in the name. In Parallels I creat a new VM and told it to do a Typical Install, Linux, and Debian. I assume that Debian is correct for Ubuntu. It seems to load...

Oh wait a minute. I understand your response. You mean that without Bootcamp installed you can suspend Parallel so as to maximize OS X applications. But when Parallels uses a Bootcamp partion you can't suspend operation of the PC part. Correcto?

THanks Fryke but I don't understand. First, what do you mean that you can't suspend virtual PC in Parallels? Do you mean that you can't deactivate? Second, is there any advantage to installing bootcamp at all? I know that it is greater for gamers but for non-gamers...? Thanks for the clarification.

I've ordered Parallel so that I can run IE7 for "mission critical" tasks. Does it make sense to download and install Bootcamp as well as a paranoid backup emergency Plan B? If so, do Parallel users recommend installing Bootcamp first and then installing Parallel? Thanks for any advice. Eric...

This WORKS! THanks!

I have several dozens brief QuickTime Videos and a dozen long ones. I can store them in my Document Folder Movie Folder or in iTunes Where do you store your mpeg videos and why? Are there any advantages to storing them in iTunes (I don't have a video iPod). Thanks for any comments.

I want to use the extra screenspace occupied by the menu for windows. An app called something like MegaZoomer does this but uses SIMBL. I understand that there is some hesitation about using apps with this hack. Is SIMBL safe? Has anyone used this MegaZoomer thing? Is there an alternative that...

Thank you!

THanks guys but neither of these work. Internal Modem does not appear on any panels on my MacBook Pro.

This is slightly embarassing but is there is convenient way to make the desktop backdrop 100% black. Yes I did search several desktop websites but could not find it. Must I make my own or is there a simple way? THANKS.

I have a MacBook Pro with no modem. Yet the modem/phone icon appears in my crowded menu. Is there a way to make this disappear? Thanks!

Hi! I've failed to migrate my mail messages from my old comptuer to my new computer. On the new computer, I've launced Mail and selected Import mailboxes. I've selected Mail for Mac OS X and selected the Mail folder in my user's library. The import function runs very quickly and the folders are...

But you can run two external monitors using ScreenRecycler (check Macupdate.com for link) and VNC. Use the external monitor out port to connect to your DVI monitor. Than use the ethernet or firewire port to connect to an old computer. Not a great solution but a good solution if you have an old...

Thanks Bob but I am afraid I am confused. All I need is a basic copy of XP to run IE 7... does that mean I should get an OED copy for $119? If so, is there a reason why Vista Home Basic is $30 cheaper? Sorry if these questions are more appropriate for a Windows forum/list but I am confused by...

May I follow up your question with a question? I looked that the MacMall prices for the Mac Book Pro 2.16 and they seem comparable to Apple's Educational discount. Have you or anyone brought from MacMall before? Any problems with this company? Thanks!

Minor/Trivia question: Did Apple increase the screen size with the MacBook Pro? I believe they are 15.4 inches. But were the older PowerBooks 15.2 inches? Also, there is a cool article in Tidbits about using ScreenRecycler to make your old PowerBook into a second screen.
