			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing I deeply missed when I started using a mac as my main system was the auto-capitliazation of the letter &#8220;i&#8221;. When I was typing an email, or document it was almost second nature to just type &#8220;i&#8221; because I knew that Word would have me covered and auto-capitlize that puppy into &#8220;I&#8221;. I wouldn&#8217;t have to worry that I might look like a fool when I shot off an email or document with lower case i&#8217;s in it.  Well, hello OS X, the dream OS with funny commercials.  Low and behold the all-mighty mac doesn&#8217;t auto capitalize i.  So when I went to write emails or documents, I had to always remember to go back and capitalize the i&#8217;s so I didn&#8217;t look a lazy teenager when I sent stuff out.  I googled a couple times to find a solution, but nothing stood out as a simple fix.  Until I found the &#8216;Text Substitution&#8217; option which is an OS X option, prebuilt into almost any area where one could type text. </p>
<ul>
<li>Right click (or control click) anywhere you don&#8217;t actually have text
<li>Select &#8220;Substitutions&#8221; -> Show Substitutions.
<li>Click &#8220;Text Preferences&#8221;
<li>Click the + sign on the lower left, and add the substitution i and I.
<li>Then on the Substitutions window select &#8220;Text Replacement&#8221;
</ul>
<p>There you go.  And the beauty is that you can do this in almost any area where text is available: Textedit, Mail, Addressbook, iCal, Web Sites, etc.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices/device-detail.jsp?navId=H0,C63,P204">Blackberry 8703e</a> </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the Steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Start Parallels/VMWare, plug the Blackberry into the Mac, the guest OS should recognize the device, click on it in the Parallels/VMWare options, so that the guest OS takes control of the device.</li>
<li>Start the Sprint Blackberry connection software and establish a connection, so the Windows now has internet access</li>
<li>On the Mac Click the AirPort icon on the Menu bar and select Create Network, call the network whatever you like and click OK</li>
<li>On Parallels/VMWare, set the Network Adapter to Bridged. </li>
<li>On Windows, go to<span> </span>(Start &gt; Control Panel &gt; Network and Internet Connections &gt; Network Connections) and you&#8217;ll see the Sprint internet connection,  right-click the connection select Properties. Click the Advanced tab. On the Wireless Network Connections Properties dialog box check the “Allow other network users to connect through this computer&#8217;s Internet connection” check box in the Internet Connection Sharing frame then click OK.</li>
</ol>
<div>That&#8217;s it.  The Mac should now have internet access via the connection through Parallels/VMWare which is getting it&#8217;s connection through the Blackberry.  I&#8217;ve tested this on my own system which is below, and it works great!</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Mac OS X 1.5</li>
<li>VMware Fusion Version 1.1</li>
<li>Blackberry 8703e from Sprint</li>
<li>Sprint Connection Software: v044</li>
</ul>
</div>
