Yes, all applications I listed in the first post where running. I didn't include applications NOT running which include... System Preferences Transmit Photoshop Skype Quicktime MacCaching Parallels

cing the Novell servers with xServes. I am having a horrible time managing these printers, changing IP addresses, names, etc. On a few occasions I have run IE in parallels but that doesn't always work and when it does it is not quick. Is there an OS X utility anywhere for managing these printers from my MacBook Pro running Leopard? ...

The MacBook Air has limitations and obstacles that make it a harder to install Windows but it's not impossible. I'm sure there are those who would say, don't bother unless it's absolutely a necessity for you. Here's a YouTube tutorial but it doesn't specifically cover the MBA, but it'll be insightful anyhow.

I was thinking MS-DOS, as there is a...
