I’m running Parallels with WinXP on a MacBook Pro. OS X allows you to create a PDF file from any application. Is there any way I can use this feature while working in Parallels / WinXP? I run CAD software in XP and I need to create PDFs to email to clients and suppliers. Thanks for your help!

If you want to receive over-the-air television on your computer, you can open it up and add a tuner card — or you can add it to any machine (including notebooks) via USB. The TV Wonder 600 Hi-Speed USB receives both regular and high-def signals, though the high-def may stutter a bit thanks to a combination of USB speed and computer capabilities. The antenna end is co-axial so you can use it with a CATV connection too, or you can use analogue inputs from another video device.

Kate’s Tips
- Wacky Wordsearch
Find all the words before time runs out. Remember that the words can run horizontally, vertically, diagonally and even backwards. Select each word by clicking on the first letter and dragging your mouse along the word. When you reach the end of the word, release the mouse button. If you find a word on the list then that word will remain circled and the word will be crossed off the list. It takes a keen eye to find them all.
