“Victory or death.”

Really?

Rick Perry, who is supposed to be governing the State of Texas,

not traveling the U.S.A. at the expense of the citizens of Texas, quit his quest for the U.S. Presidency!

Perryisms: “Write yer checks.”

“Live free or die. Ya gotta love that. Victory or death. Bring it.”

“Those that will be twenty-one by November 12, I ask for your support.”

today’s thought

The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body,

his information and his recreation, his love and his religion.

He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing.

To him he’s always doing both.  - James Michener

the dark side – AUGH!

I never expected to install Windows on my iMac or MacBook Pro. Oh, my gosh. What is the world coming to?

The Florida State University is forcing me to obtain and to learn to use Microsoft Office Project and Microsoft Office Visio (drawing flowcharts and diagrams) for COM 5450 Project Management course.

Too bad that The Florida State University, The College of Communication and Information, or the Project management instructor didn’t advise me before registering for the course, or between registering for the course and the start of the course, or on the first day of the course, or on the second day of the course that I would need to do this.

All I knew was that I needed three books. I had bought them and dutifully read two in their entirety before the semester began.

I  hadn’t known that I must obtain these applications and obtain a windoze pee-cee or somehow install Windows on a Mac so that I could run windoze applications. Surprise! »→

if you must run Windows on a Mac

How can we run Windows 7 and/or Windows applications on Apple computers?

On a Macintosh computer, we can install software that allows us to run Microsoft Windows operating system and applications that were made for that operating system.

PowerPC-chip-based Mac computers:

To use Windows and Windows applications on an older Mac with a PowerPC central processor, we can install hardware emulation software such as Guest PC and Bochs x86 PC emulator. These work by mimicking hardware within an application.

When we run a windoze program in the emulation environment, the software intercepts commands and translates them into code that the PowerPC chips can understand.

This solution allows using many PC applications and, even multiple operating systems (Windows, Linux). However, the speed is much slower than on a PC or a Mac with an Intel-brand chip (whose logic, or ways of computing, Windows applications are designed for).

 

Intel chip-based Macs:

Mac computers made since 2007 use Intel-brand CPUs (central processing units) of the same design as those in windoze PCs, they can run Windows and Windows applications as quickly as Intel-chip-based computers that aren’t made by Apple.

Several methods are available for running Windows operating system on Intel Macs:
