Re: Macbook pro power adapter

I thought Apple had patented the MagSafe connector so they are pretty much the only supplier. That said, I found some cheap clones at newegg. For example, here is a 60w one for $18: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=-1&IsNodeId=1&Description=macbook%20power%20supply&bo

Re: trying to install fusion

One bit of caution is to not starve RAM on the Mac side. Mavericks doing nothing seems to take up about 1GB RAM. So if you are on a 4GB RAM machine and give 2GB to your virtual machine, and VMWare taks abouther 3-400MB of overhead, that leaves just 1.5GB RAM or so for the mac side. Open Safari

Re: lots of questions on mac

In case you're not familiar with them, you could use an Alias on your desktop to give easy access to a file that's buried deep on your hard drive. You could also use an alias to have a large file appear to be in multiple locations without sucking up a bunch of disk space. You can even make an a

The link pasted below to a discussion thread might help you track down some answers. Apparently Windows boxes use BIOS and Macs use EFI firmware for bootstrapping the machine. So while the Linux bases are nearly identical, the bootup process is different and you'll need to have an EFI-based boo
