USING MY PHONE AS A MODEM on a MAC????
Is this possible to do with a Verizon data-capable phone. I was told that they do not support it, but I'm guessing that it is possible. Any information would be appreciated.

Have you checked the isync page on apple.com? That will give you the first glimpse at which phones are supported on macosx, as well as what features are capable with each one.

Basically, you're going to need a data cable to connect your phone to your mac and of course the proper Mac drivers for your cable (this can be the hardest part!) You'll also need the necessary modem scripts for you phone, and finally you'll have to configure a dialup location using your cell phone as an external modem.

Have to agree with you there. I 'went Mac' a few years ago and have never missed Windows. 🙂
It's also pretty pain-free to hear about the 'Windows virus of the month' that has everyone else scared, while I just smile and go about my business. No spyware worries either, nor does my hard drive need constant defragging. I love that I don't have to babysit my computer.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Good luck finding a good selection of software for it. PC rules! 😛
...
I live near an Apple Store, so finding software is really no prob. MS Office is what I mainly use, and yep, there's a Mac version. Heck, there's even a fair amount of games for it, like World of Warcraft. 🙂
...
Oh, and they've got Firefox (the best web browser, period) for OS X as well. So much better than IE. 🙂
...
and don't forget that if you just "have" to run a PC program, you just start up Virtual PC and there you have it.
World of Warcraft is ruining my life. I never leave the house anymore.
