You didn't hurt my feelings. I have 8 PCs in the house and one PowerBook. ;) If you are going to throw words around like "theft" and "stole", maybe you should do research before posting unsubstantiated claims on the Internet...

<rant> PARC concepts were licensed from XEROX, not stolen. And in any case, the term you are looking for is copyright infringement which is legally not theft. Claiming that Apple "stole" technology on a public message board without proof borders on libel. Sure, it sounds good and makes...

Thank you for the suggestion! I played with VMWare a long time ago (before they supported the NTFS layer in Windows 2000). What was selling me on Windows 2005 Virtual Server was the supposed support for multiple processors within the client OS in addition to being supported on the host. Since...

How exactly would this be copyright infringement? Apple isn't copying anything. For that matter, the copying might be going the other way... ;) Now, if you want to assert trademark infringement, that is another ball of wax and this might have a chance of succeeding. Unless, of course, Apple...

Got it. My apologies for not getting the terminology right.

You're not backing it up. You're converting it. The OP stated that he was wanting to back up movies. MTR DVD -> Disk image. Burn image to dual-layer DVD. How is that a rip as opposed to a back up?

Read the article on it before you plunk down your money. Bottom line on games now: It's a wash. Bottom line on games in the future: Depends if the game developers code for 64-bit. Otherwise it's just emulated.

MacTheKnife Backing up DVDs on the Mac is a cinch. They even have pretty interfaces for the clueless Windows user :p (j/k, I use PCs too).

Everything but games -> Mac Games -> PC and XBox

Thank you for the reply!

Well, my first experience with OpenBSD was with 2.9. I didn't migrate upwards because I was unsure if pf was a good replacement for ipf. Now that pf has proven itself as a worthy replacement, I will probably set up a 3.x version to see how it works. There was an excellent O'Reilly article about...

Or you can simply use the free NTLDR which is the same boot loader used by W2K/WXP/W2K3/WXP x64. I even boot my Linux distros with it. :)

Your wisest choice would be to setup W2K3 on a seperate partition, so any tool that would allow you to resize your existing partition would be okay. This is assuming that you can't just add in another hard drive.

An Athlon 64 will handle this with no problems.

I don't have the released version yet, but RC2 didn't do this at all. I had/have W2K on my first partition of my primary (PATA(0)) drive and installed WXP x64 on the second partition on the same drive. WXP x64 added itself to the boot.ini file with no problems. Are you saying that the behavior...
