I know:-). Still - better than not having this op, right?

sure thing, nik. if one is running the windows emulator sw. i'm not, and don't plan to, unfortunately.... but, it's great that your app works under it!

My only hope is

..that you still keep your old PC around - at least for upload purposes only:-)

Well, Andy's right...not exactly "my platform".

Nearly every PC app will run under Virtual PC. If you're willing to put up with a slow, buggy environment. Microsoft actually came up with an OS that's worse than Windows XP--Virtual PC!

Just kidding, Nik.

Kind of.

Actually, saying that I'm pointing out the truth in a playful way, would be more accurate.

, I guess...

Just trying to be helpful:-)
And just in case you ever change your mind - I'm not gonna disable this opportunity:D
I'm also not sure is MS really the culprit for this app. According to MacBU site (http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/0302/19.macbu.php), they only acquired this product fairly recently, probably because Connectix simply could not provide a support for XP fast enough.

Anyway, based on Pete's assessment (which I would really like to confirm by a couple more testcases), SE's upload speed (mind you, on the sluggish emulator!) was close/identical to the "native mac uploader", with the "tiny" difference being the first one worked and the latter didn't

. And I didn't even touch the optimization part yet :-) But I'm going to, hopefully this month, expecting 10..30% speed improvement.

Man, is it windy or not lately? My Murano was almost blown off from 23-101 ramp yesterday morning, brr..

Cheers!

Interesting. I've never had a problem with the Mac Uploader.

Windy? Oh, yeah. But getting warmer...

Nikolai · February 4, 2005

Neither had I:-)

.. for the obvious reason - don't do apples:-)
But just in case you ever will - remember your fellow TO-er:-)

Yup. Hopefully will be able to ride again soon. I got pretty picky and dont want to chill my arse off in these mornings' temperaturex (it's still kinda chilly at 7 am, you know:-)

Cheers!
