Yes sorry, Shoque overwrote some shit by accident, he is sorting it out now….

Sorry guys, I have overwritten the index-file on the website. 

This should be fixed in a few minutes.

[shoque]

Fixed.

Is there a 2013 Forum tee in the works, or has it been too busy to get to that yet?

[Giles]

Got to get rid of the 12's first…

^I took one last week, gotta count towards some 2013 discount no?  Yeah…. probably not

speaking of the the 2012, can I wash the indigo as normal or will it run a lot?  Thanks!

[Giles]

I would certainly wash it with dark colours only for a while…..

[FurattoHeddo]

The indigo t will bleed like a pig (excuse the expression)…

[tigerpac]

lol fantastic - maybe I'll hand wash it in my spare (read: jeans washing) tub.  Already has a hint of blue.

Technical People.

I bought a new PC today, to run our shipping applications (they don't run under MacOS hence needing a PC).

We got an HP with Windows 8, which only runs IE10.  Yes, guess what, one of the shipping applications we use only runs on IE9 or earlier (no Chrome, no FireFox).

I am contemplating doing a dual boot set up so we can choose Windows 7 or Windows 8.

Anyone tried this, is it easy?

Help please, otherwise my bollocks will be history (Mme B is pacing up and down the room with shears in her hand)

[tigerpac]

Have heard it was easy to do, but haven't personally done it!

Thanks IJ, that make me feel sooooooooooooo much better…..

I've always run multiple (2-5) os's on my laptop at a time. It can be a bit of a pain, but it's doable.

I've always used different distros of linux and osx, but this guide seems to explain it fairly well for your situation…

You need to install windows 7 first and go from there though…

Alternatively have you thought about setting up a virtual machine to run windows 7?  It would let you run windows 7 in a window without the need to restart and switch operating systems

If you have windows 8 pro or enterprise, it comes with the software to set this up, as seen in the last section of this article...

You'll need a relatively fast computer to virtualize though…

[emceeQ]

Also, if you can get away with using Internet Explorer 8 or below, just follow this to get xp up and running and do it from there…

Much easier than the other two options I gave...

Hope that helps G…

[emceeQ]

one last solution, in case none of the above work would be to dual boot one of your macs.  I know it's not ideal as you probably got the HP for this purpose but it would work.  The bootcamp utility is super easy to use…

and I'm done

If you need anything else or any help just shoot me a pm G…

I will look tomorrow.  Thanks Mike

Dual boot is easy enough to do, but why not just download IE9 from the microshaft website?

• guess it doesn't work so easily… annoying

this link will show you how to do it though…. but maybe dual boot is the best option for you
