Comment on Schonbrunn Palace by Fiona

I’ve been to both Versailles and Schonbrunn and for me, Schonbrunn is by far more intriguing. Its history is quite amazing too, I read it here http://everycastle.com/Schonbrunn-Palace.html that it was built gradually, although by the 18th century, it got its current shape.

Oh, and I almost forgot, one of the best things about it is the zoo, the oldest in the world.

lol
CMD == Windows button
shutdown hangs likely because vmware 4 does not support the “hybrid boot” feature of windows 8. disable it under power options in Control panel.

CMD + I gives you power options too.

Thanks for the nice words about our videos. The tour group we used was called “My Wonderful Holiday” 欢乐假日. We can’t remember if their office was in the Friendship Hotel or in the Tongcheng Commercial Square close to the Lu Shan Hotel in Changsha. Hope you have a great time in Zhang Jie Jia!

Hi,

My husband and I are teachers in Changsha, China. We have enjoyed viewing your YouTube videos on Changsha. They were beautifully done and very informative. Can you share with us, the tour bus line you used to travel to The Yellow Dragon Caves? We have searched the internet to no avail. Thank you in advance for your help and again for the wonderful videos.

Yv & Z

I don’t think there’s a way with the Mac trackpad. Even the Windows drivers for it probably aren’t going to work. I think you need a Windows-supported trackpad, such as Wacom’s Bamboo tablet. I don’t have this, but if you did, I suspect gestures would be supported.

wow – that worked, Chris. I swear I hit EVERY key on that keyboard! Maybe it’s the inconsistency we should expect with such a pre-release. Also later today running my mouse into the bottom left corner popped up the Start menu. Again, I KNOW I tried every corner to see if it didn’t anything.

Do you know whether there’s any way to use gestures to slide things left and right using the Mac trackpad? Like with the weather widget up, I’ve got two cities, one partially showing. I can slide the partially showing one into view using the arrow keys but it’s super slow. Seems I should be able to two fingered or three fingered swipe, but that’s probably too much to ask?

I love experimenting like this!
