Then after repeated unanswered phone calls, I get a form rejection letter about a week into the new year!! No explanation whatsoever. You can bet I wanted to do a dance on his face!

There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about. Run Windows in OS X, run Linux in Windows, but the best way to do either is with <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/17081/rn_a32755/">VMware</a> and/or <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/13766/rn_a32755/">Parallels</a>. chris@lockergnome.com (Chris Pirillo) Partner Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:00 GMT http://chris.pirillo.com/2008/02/19/parallels-or-vmware/ http://chris.pirillo.com/2008/02/19/parallels-or-vmware/ Screen Capture for Multi-taskers <a href="http://www.techsmith.com/featured/2008/snagit/v9launch/?cmp=LockS01">SnagIt</a> 9 works like you work!
