![]() ![]() I checked online and I found it at Microsoft’s site – unfortunately only SP1 not SP2, evidently you can’t have SP2 without Windows. I ran the installer for Internet Explorer, and it told me I had to find the application myself. It would be boring for me to read all 32 of them, but how about a sampling? They have Photoshop, Half-life (glad they worked on something important!), Lotus Notes, a whole slew of Microsoft Office products (but not Access which would have been nice) but they did include Project and Visio, as well as Quicken. the first thing they show is a list of the software applications they support. I launched CrossOver and saw that I could install from a CD or use the CrossOver Software installer. I was assured by Jeremy of Codeweavers that it was worth another look, so here we are. I participated in the beta program, and while it was promising, it was pretty darn unstable and difficult to find patterns to why it would stop working. CrossOver doesn’t support every application, in fact the list is a bit limited, but they say that it works well now for the supported applications. They have a 60 day trial so you really get a chance to find out if it’s going to work for you. CrossOver is $60, so it’s outside of the shareware threshold, but it’s such an interesting product, I wanted to dig into it. Parallels and Fusion Beta from VMware both require you to buy and install windows, but not so with Crossover from. ![]() This is a crazy application that runs on OSX, but lets you run Windows applications there, WITHOUT Windows. Last week I promised that I’d talk about the release of the software CrossOver. I really do think this is a built in feature of Apple Mail. What I was trying to do was just be in email (whichever app) and drag in a photo and change the size. I don’t think this would have really solved the problem anyway – I think this pref just changes how photos get emailed if you click on Email in iPhoto – and that wasn’t the question. There’s an option in the general preferences of iPhoto where you can change how photos are emailed, but it only had Mail and Entourage. I checked in iPhoto to see if I could change the mail app to Gyazmail but it wasn’t an option. Also you cannot make a POP account a IMAP account. I had it working with Entourage prior to making Mail my default e-mail. You just need to set iPhoto up for the mail client you use. Reformatting the size of pictures is part of iPhoto not Mail. Tim, this comment comes in regards to Allison Sheridan’s review of GyazMail. Two weeks ago I reviewed Gyazmal from /gyazmail and one of the things I said would keep me with Apple Mail instead is the way Apple Mail lets you use the little pulldown in the bottom right to resize images, so if you’re sending a hi res photo to grandma on dialup, you can just pull down to “small” and now Grandma is happy! I did the review for Tim Verpoorten’s MacReviewCast over at, and he got this email back from one of his listeners: it will be fun to watch it in High Def, and through the tivo, so we’ll be able to pause, rewind, and maybe skip some of the game to see the commercials that way! I hope our guests aren’t too fanatical about football to allow that… I’m recording an entire day early this week because tomorrow is Super Bowl Sunday and we have big plans to eat as much as possible, watch some really good commercials, and maybe see a football thrown around at some point.
