On 1/26/2014 10:09 AM, F.O.A.D. posted his system info for his MacBook Air:
Harry, the answer is yes. In Windows you can call up and display more info than you probably want or need. For Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows 7, you click on the "Start" button, then enter "msinfo32" in the search field. It will appear in the search results. Click on it and it will open a file with all the reports you could ever want, from System Summary to detailed component reports for virtually anything on the computer. You have to expand all the sub directories in the left pane to see them all. I'd take a screen shot but there are too many to capture in one picture. |

I would have gotten her a Mac a couple of years ago, but she uses Windoze computers at work and didn't want to bother learning a new computer. I don't blame her. |

The issue is getting it to show up as a shared device. But I may have found the answer, once I get back to that task. My Mac's found the server as a device right away, without any additional effort on my part. |

My task of the moment is getting my wife's Windoze computer to have our server show up as a shared device or device, like it does on our macs. So far I haven't figured out which rosetta stone I need to do this. I always wondered how well Apple acted on a network with Windoze machines. I just plug them in and they go here. As I stated, the Apple machines have no problems finding and displaying the network and what is attached to the network, which, by the way is not running on the Apple or Windoze OS. It's the Windoze machine that was the minor pain to get onto the network. I think Windows has more privacy options for network sharing than the Apple OS. With Apple it seems to be "on" or "off". Windows has several options to choose from and set. Perhaps it is too fine a point, but I wasn't trying to "share" anything on the Windoze computer. I was trying to access a directory on the server, which is not running Windoze or the Mac OS. I already had the Windoze machine "sharing" its data on the server via Windoze 7 backup software. I figured it out, finally, but it was obtuse. It doesn't help that neither Apple nor Microsoft give you any real printed reference materials with their operating systems. Almost everything is "on-line," and sometimes not easy to find. |
Do the newer versions of Windoze cough up these sorts of reports?

My task of the moment is getting my wife's Windoze computer to have our server show up as a shared device or device, like it does on our macs. So far I haven't figured out which rosetta stone I need to do this. I always wondered how well Apple acted on a network with Windoze machines. I just plug them in and they go here. As I stated, the Apple machines have no problems finding and displaying the network and what is attached to the network, which, by the way is not running on the Apple or Windoze OS. It's the Windoze machine that was the minor pain to get onto the network. I think Windows has more privacy options for network sharing than the Apple OS. With Apple it seems to be "on" or "off".

Almost everything is "on-line," and sometimes not easy to find. Ah, I understand. I had problems just trying to get the iMac and Windows machines to talk to each other via the home network. One thing I've noticed (and don't understand) is why software updates released by Apple take so long to install. It's not machine related .... seems to be on both my Vista and iMac. For example, iTunes recently had an update. It was a fairly large file but downloaded in a reasonable period of time to both machines. But when it went to install, it took longer than the download did, again on both machines. At first I thought something screwed up and was about to cancel the install but then the bar starting moving again. |

You know NSA has invisible dongles, right? :) Those still require that somebody get access to your hardware. Realistically, if NSA wants to know, they will know unless you are living in a cabin, off the grid, in Montana and you never go outside. I remember that the teletype machines and some other equipment on Navy ships generated what was called a "tempest" hazard. It is an electromagnetic emission that can be detected and read by a remote receiver. There is a tempest hazard with wired connections to computers as well. The electromagnetic emission can be through the cables themselves. However, since the voltages and current are so low, you'd probably have to be next to the cable to pick anything up. It's still a concern however in some communication systems. |

In Windows you can call up and display more info than you probably want or need. For Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows 7, you click on the "Start" button, then enter "msinfo32" in the search field. It will appear in the search results. Click on it and it will open a file with all the reports you could ever want, from System Summary to detailed component reports for virtually anything on the computer. You have to expand all the sub directories in the left pane to see them all. I'd take a screen shot but there are too many to capture in one picture. Cool. I've let my knowledge base of Windoze more or less expire. Yet your narcissism lives! |
