Is Pampered Chef the Answer to My Financial Struggles?

[PC For Me 2 Move Out]

OMG!! My brain is mush!! So, where would I obtain a copy of the Windows XP, & or the latest version of OSX? That's not Leopard right? I have the new MacBook, & iMac, both with the intel chips. Yea, I love MACS!! I really don't want to do mail ins.

I can't help you with your computer questions...I just wanted to say:

WELCOME to CS and congrats on starting your own business!

Yes, Leopard is the latest version of OSX. You can get one online, from many fine online retailers, or direct from Apple. (Or at an Apple Store, if there's one near you. ) If your MacBook is super new, it may have come with Leopard installed. You can sometimes find install discs for WinXP online (eBay). Anyone in your family have a Windows machine that came with an install CD?

 

[PC For Me 2 Move Out]

Okay, I guess I'm going to have to invest in Leopard. My MacBook is a little over a year old, so, I don't have it. :cry: I almost got it a few months ago. I'll probably head to the Apple store, & whip out my fancy Federal Badge, so I can get a bit of a discount off the program!:thumbup:

 

[chefann]

Oohhh... a Federal badge, huh? Good thing I didn't suggest finding a copy of XP through file-sharing programs like Limewire. And if it helps any, the tech dept at HO is working on a Mac version of P3. It'll be a couple of years before it's done, but they're working on it.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Is that "badge" as in a laminated card that opens the gate to the parking lot, or is that "badge" as in six points and "UP AGAINST THE WALL, HAIRBAG!"?

 

[PC For Me 2 Move Out]

LOL, neither! :indif: It's just an ID card basically, but has information on it showing that I work for the Federal Government. Nothing too fancy! I just want to thank everyone for all their welcomes & information help, especially to being able to put orders in on my Mac!! [/QUOTE]

There's a radio PSA about student loans that uses a game show called, "Ask The Governement Employee." The host says, "Panelists, how do you find a student loan?" and the first guy says, "The spotted owl has a wing span of 42 inches."I'm going to think of you now, every time I hear that PSA.

 

[PC For Me 2 Move Out]

LOL! Well, atleast I know someone will be thinking about me!! HAHA!! Eh, I'm not on the higher end of the Government, just working to serve our Vets! I have ABSOLUTELY NO AUTHORITY!! Just little perks at certain retailers: Apple, Sprint, PetSmart just to name a few. LOL!!

 

[chefann]

Well, if you have no authority, then why are we sucking up to you? 'Bye!Just kidding. Welcome! And if you need additional help with getting P3 up through Boot Camp or Parallels, let me know. Actually, if you have an Apple store near you, the Genius on duty would be able to answer questions about getting Boot Camp running, and once that's done installing P3 is easy.

 

[PC For Me 2 Move Out]

LOL! Thanks!!

Yea, just make sure you know what you're getting yourself into for offering to help me if I need it! LOL! Yea, I hope so. So, Bootcamp is in Leopard? What is Bootcamp? Sorry to ask so many questions. I just want to make sure that when I get all the things I need, there isn't anything else. I don't want to spend more than I need to. Thanks again for all the help you've given me, & for future help you'll be giving me!! :chef:

 

[chefann]

Sorry about that- I forget that the newer members of the board aren't used to my sarcastic sense of humor yet. I did add "just kidding." Fine. I'll go play in my corner. By myself.Gee, and I thought you were cool because you're a Mac user.

 

[PC For Me 2 Move Out]

I know you were kidding! That's why I put a LOL on there! I'm use to plenty of sarcastic humor. I work mostly with guys, & they do nothing but pick on me with their sarcasm, & I give it right back to them. I love it actually. Because most people can't pick up the fact you're joking about it!
No, but in all seriousness, thanks for your offer to help me out. I love Macs, & know how to use them well, but not with the new Leopard apparently.

Okay, I've been seeing things about Waves, what is that?! I have a meeting on the 24th with my Director, & I know I'm not the only Newbie there, & I don't want to overwhelm anyone there with my curiousity! :angel: LOL!

 

[chefann]

Leopard is really just the latest upgrade to the OS. Boot Camp is a program that will allow you to boot your Intel-based Mac using Windows instead of OSX. It used to be a free download (a Beta), before Leopard was released. It's not available for free download any more because Apple wants people to buy the OS. DH installed it for me (from the free version), so I'm not 100% on the process. But you will need to create a partition on your drive to hold Windows and any files you use/create within Windows (like P3, the data files, and Acrobat Reader for reports). If you don't want to spend the $120 on the OS upgrade, you can find Parallels for around $70 online (they might have it at the Apple store). Parallels does much the same, but it allows you to run Windows at the same time as OSX, in it's own window. I actually have that on my MacBook, too.

Waves are for conference. We don't all fit in the convention center, so they have to break us up into 3 groups. Your Director will be able to tell you which group you'll be in, and what dates your wave is.

At lot of your questions are answered in The Hitchhiker's Guide to CS in the Lounge.

Just curious, who is your director?

 

[PC For Me 2 Move Out]

Lisa Lefebvre I believe is the correct spelling.

 

[pamperedharriet]

Lisa Lefebvre I believe is the correct spelling.

The name sounds familiar but I don't think I know Lisa. As far as the waves of conference go they go by who your executive director is. My director is in Wave 1 and the dates are July 10-12.

If I can figure out if she is part of my cluster I'll let you know and if so the information about wave 1 will be for you too.
