Upgrade to VMWare Fusion 3 for Ten Bucks

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Actually, I’ve been pretty happy with version 2, an haven’t really wanted to spend the money, or time, upgrading, but if they’re going to offer the upgrade for $9.99 for a limited time, I might have to take them up on that.

I don’t fire up my Windows VM on the Macbook very often. I’ve kind of migrated away from using it aside from testing out Lit Support tools that I have personal licenses for through my certifications. I’ve gotten pretty comfortable with just using the Macbook and software I’ve found for it, but every once in awhile I need Outlook, or some Windows freeware tool that I haven’t yet found a Mac replacement for. Who knows, maybe the new version of Fusion will inspire me to experiment more with virtual machines?

They are offering the upgrade price for users of Parallels as well. Not a bad little ploy on their part!

Linked – Why Aren’t You Using Email Threading on Every Case?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

Imagine if Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo were incapable of grouping email conversations together. Without conversation grouping, or email threading, you might be able to sort by subject, but the software would not understand that “RE:” and “FW:” should be disregarded. The forwards would be in one group, the replies would all follow, and the original…

My advice? Always check your credit card bills. Get online access to your statement and check what is being charged to your account on a weekly basis, especially if you travel and use your credit card often as part of your work. Report anything that doesn’t make sense. Chances are your credit card details have…

Wow, Badtrans just seems to be everywhere doesn’t it? We’re still seeing quite a few copies of it flowing into the generic mailbox we have setup at work. One of my co-workers got it at home over the weekend too. She was asking me first thing this morning about the possibility of it spreading to…

This doesn’t sound good. “Pen Test Partners (PTP), a penetration testing and security services firm, demonstrated a number of methods for hacking into the satcom systems of ships, which can allow bad actors access to shipboard systems and wreak potential havoc for the vessels and the shipping industry.” Hmm, imagine what kind of havoc could…

A new Twist for Presentations

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

Yesterday, I was writing about the bump in the road with using Open Office instead of MS Office on our pool laptops, namely, PowerPoint presentations. Today, my further research into that led me in some interesting directions. I started out getting a copy of the PowerPoint viewer. I know that not everyone has their presentation…
