How do you make 1.6 the default VM on a mac? I installed the download off apple’s website, but I still get that error!

OSX 10.4 comes with a VNC server. It needs to be enabled by the mac owner, once enabled you can use VNC to remote control the computer.

Mac mini’s are about 15cmx15cmx5cm – the size of a overfilled sandwich. If you buy a usb/dvi KVM switch you can even share your Windows keyboard, monitor and mouse.

If you can’t fit a mac mini, then I’m amazed. I knew Japan had small [everything]s, but still…

I imagine someone’s got a spare dev/test box they’ll let you VNC into (sadly, I am not one of them).

My main issue would be where the heck to put the thing… I recently moved into a Japanese apartment which is shoebox-esque…

Mac minis are fairly cheap and connect to PC USB keyboards and VGA or DVI monitors. They are quite adequate for porting if you up the memory to 1GB.

You know it. I’m going to see if I can’t get Browsercam working, although they don’t appear to be letting me log into an account which can run arbitrary Java programs. Grrr….

The only reason I use zips instead of DMGs is because I can edit a zip on my PC and I don’t know how to edit a DMG on my PC.

Ahh well, Mac users get to wait a week, this website is going live today.

Ps/ I don’t understand why you would use zip. The vast majority of mac apps seem to use compressed DMG (disk image) format.

I use a little utility called DropDMG to take the pain out of creating DMG files.
