Notes on Apple's Rosetta Technology

[alec]

If it wasn't sarcasm (which i don't think it was) i would suggest getting a used iBook if anything. A four year old in no way needs anything super powerful, and it would be able to run all the classic apps (or OS9 if you get an old enough one).

I also think a laptop would be easier for a child in that everything is right there, and they could play with it in bed or in the living room.

Im sure you could pick up one pretty cheap, or at least cheaper than a new mac mini package (monitor, keyboard, all the stuff you would need to set up a new computer station).

A 4 year old does not need a Mac Mini, an iPod, or a laptop. A 4 year old needs a ball and the box that their parents Mac came in. Anything else is spoiling.

I guess I wont be upgrading to one of those nice new Macbooks.

I used to use Apple Mail to access my companies mail system but when they upgraded Exchange they cut off all access except for Outlook. I think the Sys admin has it in for me. He say's it's a security issue and since I'm the only Mac user he's not willing to do any investigation to see how I could be turned back on.

So I need to run Classic to run Outlook to read my mail. Nothing else works not Entourage, not Outlook Web Access, nothing. (Some quirk of the VPN wont let me access OWA)

If someone knows of an Outlook compatible mail client please let me know. I don't care about calendar and all the rest I just want to be able to send & receive mail. The old Mac Outlook sucks big time. No HTML, No imbeded images, The address systems a mess.

I know Novel has some plugin for it's Linix mail program that emulates Outlook. But that doesn't help me.

Hmmmf. Looks like your stuck. Just ask them to do it or just tell them, "Fine, I just won't have mail. My phone number is.... if you need to contact me."

Most chances, he will probably do something about it.

If your socmpany is running exhcange, they should have a web interface set up. That's what I use at my office, although other employees here are running both Mail and Entourage alongside PC users who use Outlook with no issues.
