Firstly, in answer to '
rsjsouza', (about 6 or 8 comments back!)....
I
really really thank you, for your in-depth and verbose response & comments, regarding my prior post/comment!!!
As you probably know, I'm a real 'newbie' in regards to non-Windows O.S.'s etc, and your thoughts were VERY much appreciated mate!...
To ALL though, and since then, I've learnt that in the 'Mac' system, their 'emphasis' seems to be on simplicity & user-friendliness, without either
the 'need' or desire (Apple don't WANT you to know too much!). You have a 'Document' you've written/created, what is the File-Name Extension??
(
Don't worry about it... and look for it in 'Documents'!!). I hate that forced control, but I understand the apparent 'simplicity' for general Home users.
The 'File' system on a 'Mac' seems to be like looking under the hood of a modern car, for people that barely know how to put some petrol/diesel in it!...
THAT being said, I've noticed over the years, that places like 'Medical-Centres', (and all their networked Doctors etc.), GENERALLY all use MAC Systems??
So I guess that says something about the proven reliability etc of such systems....
I never initially understood why 'Apple' changed years ago to incorporating/using 'Intel' style CPU's ? I'm not complaining either, as it means that 'we' are
now able to utilize such modern Virtualization Software... such as 'VirtualBox'. Although!!... 'VirtualBox' is by FAR in-superior to VMWARE, even using the
totally free version called 'Player'. However, in that case, you DO need the 'UnLocker' patch, freely downloaded, to add such 'MacOS' Guests...
To '
rsjsouza' again... Regarding the 'availability' of Linux/Ubuntu software... Yes, there is a myriad of generally needed/wanted software equivalents,
but of course anything '
specialized' is almost non-existent!! Like my 'Embroidery' Software/Design requirements etc etc. I've just noticed!, that there is
add-on software available, via various companies/names that can allow you to 'run' various 'MS-Windows' apps on 'Ubuntu' etc... that is something like,
(but somehow subtly different?) from using another 'VM' machine?? (Something like 'Wine', or other variances...)
Thank you all for your kind words & comments... Glenn
