I wonder how well this kind of thing works. Doing hourly incremental
backups to a remote server and sucking up 100GB or so of their disk

that. At least most bro

Yup, you'll want to do the same Windows maintenance you did on a real

There should be no need to use any Windows Defragmenting tools, Vm-

Really? I agree that the Mac itself doesn't need defragmenting but the
virtual machine emulates a real Windows box, quirks and all, so I would
expect defragmenting would be typical maintenance.

you very seldom need an uninstaller with an application. The

No, a virtual machine doesn't require any defragmentation, a Virtual

take care of itself.

Hi Dan,
In some cases, like ExpanDrive before the fix, the overall
accessibility of the app is not affected because the same information
is easily available through other menus or shortcuts and the status

You'll find what you want in VM-Ware Fusion's System Preferences, the

Hi Anna,
Since Dane is now active on this list, he's a good person to address
your Amadeus Pro questions to , I'm pretty sure that you could
have recorded your podcast with Amadeus Pro. Steve Sawczyn, who also
just popped up with a post, uses Amadeus Pro to record his ATMaine
podcast.
Right, that is the default setting on Fusion, but it only changes the
way data is read and written to the drive (buffered or unbuffered), not
the location of the files.

I will try that. But I don't have an sd slot or a card reader. The

If you don't have a card reader, you'll have to beg, borrow, or steal
one. Or else just buy one, they can be had for well under $20, perhaps
even under $10. Really, they're a dead useful thing to have. Just copy
the unzipped files to the root of the card and you'll be OK.

Well, I don't agree that it is better. I think it is better for it to

On a more positive note, the page load sounds seem to be working much

In theory this might be true, but when running a windows defragmentor,
it indicated that the drive was very fragmented, and it did seem to
run a bit faster after I defragmented it, didn't take long to defrag
