[QUOTE="SnowmanSimon, post: 1303076, member: 28397"] I have been to the IT department and talked with the 'boss' as well as the tech guys. They keep telling me the requirements were windows 7. Without it my AutoCAD and Office wont work and I cant get on the network. I repeatedly told them I have a MAC version of CAD and Office and all I was looking for was an internet connection while at school. They also have printers on the network but I can print at home. So in the end they told me windows 7 was a requirement and they dont support MAC. So I needed to buy windows 7 just for internet access at school. They have a system where a .exe file is loaded onto your machine and runs something to connect to the machine to the network. So I picked up a copy of windows 7 hoping I could run it in parallels to get on the network but from the sounds of it the only way it works is the host (OSX lion) has to connect to the network and then the VM (win 7) piggy backs on that connection. Looks like I will have to break down and install a bootcamp copy then reinstall the parallels copy to run off the boot camp copy. This kinda sucks. [/QUOTE]

How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
