Boot up password and VPC Question

[AmativeSound]

Still saving up for my mac...

I've got another question or two in the meantime.

The main reason this Windows computer I am working on now is in such rough shape is because of my father. He's one of those guys that thinks he needs to tinker with everything and it usually just ends up messing everthing up. Sad as it sounds, I don't trust him too much and think he's going to mess with my new computer when I'm not around.

Does Tiger allow me to require a password on bootup? On my Windows machine I had this but if you clicked cancel it went to some basic account or something and that's how he got in. It's not anything like that is it?

Another concern of mine is about my work. Currently I work for a used car lot where I take pictures of all the cars on the lot once a week and post them on the web site. I use some Homestead Quicksite Builder thing that the guy paid for last year. It is not compatible with macs. The thing seems a little memory intensive but I only am using 128MB of ram and I have no video card on my current machine. It's a lot like geocities but better. Would it be possible to run it on VPC?

Phew. Haha. I think that's it for now. Thanks once again everyone.

For the software, it will most likely be possible to use it with Virtual PC, but if you get a mac, whatever kind, upgrade the RAM to at least 512, preferably a gig. Also, that program is going to run incredibly slow on the Mac; just a warning.

Bail on VPC. It runs slow even on my Dual G5. Grab Macromedia Contribute to update your website. I've taught Grandmas how to use it in like 15 minutes. They have an OS X version that works great. http://www.macromedia.com/software/contribute/
