[Year 12 IPM] Macs

[Andrew Sutton]

Yeah but no but
Anyway the most important thing you should do to toughen up you macbook is
install the Macsabre application so you can wave your new computer around
and have it sound like a lightsabre.

The other thing, is there anyone out there running Parallels or boot camp
with XP on a school windows network?  I'm temped to try but I'm too chicken
at the moment.

Subject: [Year 12 IPM] Macs

Found in the user booklet for a new Macbook we got for testing:

"High-risk activities.

This computer system is not intended for use in the operation of nuclear 
facilities, aircraft navigation or  communications systems, air traffic 
control systems, or for any other uses where the failure of the computer 
system could lead to death, personal injury, or severe environmental 
damage."

Well.  I always suspected the Mac was weak.

I'd only _ever_ use WinXP to operate a nuclear facility.
