You're right, my knowledge of Linux is quite limited. I love Ubuntu, but only use it at "face value" i.e. with GUI. (Not that working with terminal isn't on my list of things to learn ...... :) <BR/><BR/>I don't know your email to thank you personally, and your profile isn't accessible through Blogger, but I truly appreciate this information. Please accept my heartfelt thanks.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-68657874995341881132008-04-27T03:20:00.000-05:002008-04-27T03:20:00.000-05:00I would like to add the Arahweave costs about $1,0...I would like to add the Arahweave costs about $1,000. Weave Point, also a professional program, only costs about $370. AVL in Chico sells that program. Just go to their site to download a trial version. <BR/><BR/>The website for codeweavers was just given in the previous comment. From that site, you can purchase professional crossover. It costs $65, and it works wonders.Diane Bettshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02312705917013706352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-54268843244542419542008-04-27T03:01:00.000-05:002008-04-27T03:01:00.000-05:00It IS POSSIBLE to run Weave Point software with Li...It IS POSSIBLE to run Weave Point software with Linux! <BR/>Based on your comments about Linux, it's clear that you have limited computer knowledge. Most likely you tried to use "WINE" which is a recursive acronym "Wine Is Not an Emulator". This is difficult for most novices. Since people read your blogs for advice, this matter needs to be rectified. So, this is how you can correct your statements:<BR/><BR/>1. Use Ubuntu version 7.10 or later.<BR/>2. Install "Crossover Linux". Just run the setup, no configuration required.<BR/> http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxlinux/<BR/> The professional version offers one year of support if you get stuck.<BR/> This program allows most Windows applications to run seamlessly within Linux. (MS Office, Adobe, Quicken, Lotus.)<BR/> I have found only two apps that don't work, Solidworks 2007 and Labview 8.5.<BR/>3. Install Weave Point, just as you would with Windows. Double click on the weavepoint setup file and crossover will do the rest. It took me 6 minutes and<BR/>my mom started working in Weave Point with FULL functionality.<BR/><BR/>That's all there is to it! Good luck.Diane Bettshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02312705917013706352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-50892054219318802632008-01-18T00:21:00.000-05:002008-01-18T00:21:00.000-05:00We have a new systems support guy at work and I to...We have a new systems support guy at work and I told him this morning that you're really happy with Linux. He was interested - says there's a newer version and it's supposed to be even better. I'm settled in with Vista for now and worn out from the transfer.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06432035940956042729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-42957277472891892272008-01-17T11:48:00.000-05:002008-01-17T11:48:00.000-05:00Oh my, not another new software toy............

I keep saying that, don't I? Must do it for 2008. All I need is a plug in USB hard drive, the software download and to find out how to edit the bios so I can boot from the new HD. I keep thinking about it, then I just go back and do some more weaving!<BR/><BR/>Have fun Leigh, but mind you don't get eye strain with all those wonderful weaves to look at on your computer! My technique to save my eyes is set a timer and take breaks.Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488670649558382921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-26189747946628593802008-01-16T09:22:00.000-05:002008-01-16T09:22:00.000-05:00And I'm not even sorry ;)My recommendation?
