RDSS on Apple Mac - Page 2 - Pace and Cap

Midland333 · 08-01-2012, 02:54 PM

Greetings
I have no problems at all with my MacBook Pro in regards to using RDSS.
Bootcamp is the application I use to split my hard drive in half between Apple and Microsoft.
The laptop is a bit heavy but reallyyyyyyyy solid and there never seems to be a problem other with any handicapping softwear applications and I had both Black Magic and RDSS working well ( I am just a RDSS user now )
So dont have any second thoughts about using Bootcamp---simple and has worked really well.
On a personal note I was a classic example of getting caught up on the hype and packaging of Apple and my kids were all over the product.

Caution-there is a learning curve and not being computer savvy it can take away from the joy of using the machine but most importantly not having flashfor so many horse application vids is a HUGE problem for the I-Pad and Mac Book---so when its all said and done I'm sorry I just didnt buy a really good P.C.for about $1200. less--I think I've used my Mac side of the harddrive for maybe 5 hrs in the last year--just dont use it.

Finally the arrogance of Apple ( good for business I suppose ) is beyond belief regarding flash and for a topper they are now changing the power plugs to match the newest machines, boom boxes etc etc. I feel like I'm being help hostage.

That's my take on it.

Any thoughts on the above or more importantly advice will be appreciated---maybe I'm off in my thinking

Checked vmware - thought I'd at least try the demo. Interferes with Eyetv which I use to watch satellite and won't execute - just spins and won't respond - have to force quit. Don't need the headache, so I'll stick with virtualbox for now.
Thanks for the input though.

After looking at the SAR card for tomorrow in RDSS, I noticed that AP has a nice Sunday card. So I switched over to Data Centre & downloaded the AP card. The task completed, but AP did not show up in the side bar, that is, UNTIL I quit & restarted RDSS. Then everything was ok. Has anyone else had this problem? It's a minor problem, but doing so wiped out the scratches I already put in for SAR.

No worries, Paul. I moved that discussion here: http://paceandcap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8574
