Parallels Pre-loaded on a Kingston Flash Key!

ByMike Moffit

Did you know that Small Dog Electronics offers Parallels Desktop for Mac pre-loaded on a 512MB Kingston Flash Key? It works just like ordering Parallels on a CD-ROM, except in this case you get to keep and reuse the flash key.

What is Parallels Desktop? It “lets you run any version of Windows at blazing speed, right alongside Mac OS X. Linux, Solaris and other operating systems are supported, as well. And best of all, because these “virtual machines” run on top of OS X, no rebooting is required. Run Windows inside a window on your Mac desktop – or run it at full-screen and easily switch back and forth between operating systems. Easily share files and copy and paste data between Windows XP and Mac OS X. Setup is simple, and no hard drive partitioning is required.”

NOTE: you need an Intel-based Mac running OS X 10.4.6 or later with a minimum of 512 MB RAM (1 GB RAM recommended) and 30 MB hard drive space for Parallels Desktop installation, plus space to allocate to your virtual machine.

You ALSO need a copy of Windows or Linux, if you wish to run these operating systems. See the versions of Windows we sell by clicking here.

  • Protecting Your Photographs

    Let me ask you a few questions: Do you have a digital camera? How many megapixels does your camera shoot? How many years and how many photos do you have on your computer? Now imagine this… tomorrow morning you wake up and turn your computer on. It boots slower than normal and all you see is a flashing question mark on a gray screen. Your heart drops and you start to think about all of the memories that made up your iPhoto library.

    The purpose of all this is to get you thinking about how many pictures you take every week and what would happen if one day you lost all of them. Could be 10 days or 10 years of photos; either way your losing all of those precious memories. Your best solution is to backup your files. The key to a true backup is to have your files in two places. My suggestion is to purchase a pair of identical external hard drives. Several hard drive units ranging from 250 gigabytes to 2 terabytes are becoming more and more affordable.

    When you’re finished with your photo shoot, birthday party or vacation, store your photos on your computer and then back it up to your external hard drive. It may also be good to store your external hard drive in a different location than your computer and pull it out once a week to backup your new work. I like to go one step further and backup my backup. My setup includes my MacBook which is backed up onto an external hard drive which is then mirrored to a second external hard dive. This allows me to delete some photos off my MacBook to free up space while still leaving my photos on two different locations.
