VMware Fusion

What version of VMware do you have? ...

I have just noticed that Time Machine does not seem to want to backup certain big files I have (such as VMware virtual machines 5gb files). I have checked the options setup in TimeMachine and there is no setting here that could imply that these files would not be backed-up. I have made a test and noticed that TimeMachine will not backup the stated files. Does anyone...

Don't install everything you don't need like J# or ASP if you don't...

Hi Chris, Whether or not your Mac will have the 65-bit support for it is kind of a hidden feature since they never published an official list of what has the 64-bit version and what not.
