Okay so I re-installed Windows and my mistake last time is that I didn’t immediately install the “Mac Drivers Disk”. That takes care of the Wireless internet, trackpad, video card drivers, etc.
So everything worked right away. But damn the system font is terrible, and when you turn on “ClearType” it looks like you’re looking at a screen after you’ve worn your contacts for 17 hours straight.
But it is Windows, and it does work, so I’m happy.

Update:
- If you want Parallels for your new Intel machine, I have it. It’s a simple install, and you do not need two licenses of Windows XP to run Parallels and Boot Camp. Just call Microsoft and tell them your legit activation code, and they’ll give you a another code for whichever you need. Perfectly legal. So now I have Windows XP and Parallels activated.
- Flight Simulator is pretty sweet! I’ll have to limit the time so to not interfere with music.
- Download 30-day trial of Contribute 4 to see how it works.

That’s funny about “Clear Type” because I noticed the same thing. Turning it on makes things blurry, and turning it off makes things really clear. That’s the terrific windows experience, right? Everything is opposite and cranky.
p.s., I love how my mac only has 1 volume setting. Windows had like 19 different volume settings, each program had it’s own, and sometimes the computer would be “muted” because one program had the volume cranked low. Dumb. dumb dumb.
Mac has 1 volume knob that works. How pleasant.
Ummm, I’m going to act like I didn’t hear about infecting my mac with windows. The funny thing is that running windows on a mac is a selling point, but after you get your mac running, the last thing you want is windows on there!
