APPLE RUNS WINDOWS -
Reuters, 5 April 2006
Apple Computer has
introduced a software
download that will
allow users of its
computers with Intel
chips to run
Microsoft's Windows
operating system. Last
year, Apple switched
the processors in its
line of computers from
those made by IBM to
chips made by Intel.
The new download,
called Boot Camp, lets
Apple computers run
either the Macintosh
or the Windows
operating system.
Philip Schiller,
Apple's senior vice
president of Worldwide
Product Marketing,
said the new offering
will make Apple
hardware more
appealing to Windows
users considering a
change. The Boot Camp
software will be
included in the
upcoming Mac OS X
10.5, also known as
Leopard. Apple said it
will not offer support
for installing Boot
Camp, and it will not
sell or support
Windows software.
6.
Q-Will it run on XP-Home
and XP-Professional?
A- Yes
7.
Q- Will it run on a network and allow multiple users?
A-

satellite PC's as
needed.
Then Delete
(do NOT
use Add/Remove
Programs) the
installation folder
"EZConstructionMgr"
in C:\Program files
from all satellite
PC's only, but NOT

(executable file) on
your main server PC

About Us
Home Construction Consulting, LLC (HCC) was established in 1990 as a home building and remodeling company by John Zerega, a South Carolina licensed homebuilder, general contractor and remodeler.
Background: Prior to 1990 John worked for large companies in many large Project Management assignments that required planning, organizing, constructing and managing new start up facilities (industrial and commercial), personnel and programs. During our first 10 years building homes, remodeling projects of all sizes and performing Construction Consultant services, we used a “hands on” approach with our customers, trade contractors and suppliers to learn how to most effectively manage and control the building process. We wrote dozens of informative documents based on our real life experience dealing with customers, suppliers and trade contractors; and started developing comprehensive Excel spreadsheets to help manage all our job costs and activities with greater efficiency. We soon realized the limitation of row and column spreadsheets, and searched for the right people to help convert our software ideas into a stand alone, database driven software that would have much greater capabilities.
In 1999 we began developing our current software products in Visual Basic with Access databases in collaboration with ISS
(Industry Specific Software) in Greenville, SC who has been selling accounting and job management software for the construction industry and related trades since 1985. Note: our software editions integrate with ISS software.
HCC is focused on and committed to designing, marketing, and supporting a family of Construction Project Management software products that serve all types of building professionals in many construction industries; and serve the Owner-builder who is managing one home building or major remodeling project. We have customers in virtually every State in the US and in many foreign countries. According to our large customer base HCC is succeeding in accomplishing our Software objectives as follows:
- Create quickly learnable and useable software that works the way people build vs. you building how the software works - by incorporating our hands on knowledge and experience about all the predictable and unpredictable activities of the construction process and the information needed to manage it effectively.
- Provide software that can serve as your company's primary "information, organization and communication tool", enabling everyone involved to be more organized and work together more efficiently, knowledgably and successfully.
- Design in flexibility that allows the development of new integration capabilities with other specialized softwares, to improve your operating efficiencies even more and enable you to use the products you already have.
- Listen to our customers' real world situations, questions and suggestions that serve as the basis for continual improvement our software's capabilities, ease of use and value to them.
- Provide prompt and personal customer support to maximize the value of our software to all your people and business.
We encourage you to try EZConstruction Manager and EZhomebuild Softwares and see for yourself how they can help you succeed with all your construction projects.
