sponsors: Peter Godwin, andrew macfarlane
funded: January 16, 2012; ordered: January 16; received: January 18Most Mini vMac development for Linux and Windows is done with VMware Fusion. (Thanks to previous donations for VMware Fusion 3.) The new version 4 supports virtualization of OS X, which has been very useful in version 3 even though unsupported and only sort of working.

sponsors: Zebadiah Kimmel, Greg Lee
ordered: July 22, 2010; received: July 27, 2010Will encourage improving the Windows and Linux versions of Mini vMac. (I've set it up to dual boot.) Using this as one of my primary computers is a different experience than briefly using Windows and Linux in VMware Fusion. It has already lead to improvements in Mini vMac for working on small screens, and for conserving battery.
This netbook supports the 64 bit instructions set, allowing Mini vMac to be optimized for this eventually. But currently a straight compile would most likely be slower than the 32 bit version, which has been optimized in assembly language.

ordered: April 6, 2010; received: April 13, 2010I strongly prefer keyboards without a numeric keypad, so that there is less distance to the mouse. Unfortunately they are rare, and I want to encourage Apple for making one. The Apple keyboard is quieter and requires less force than my current Happy Hacker Lite. Having two keyboards would mean less stuff to cart around between the two locations where I do most work on Mini vMac. And a quieter keyboard would be better for late night work at one of the locations.

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade
sponsors: Mini vMac Variations activations, Andrew Johnstone
received: December 22, 2009Would allow better support of this OS version. I think it should also allow supporting a 64 bit Windows version of Mini vMac.
Living expenses for one day's programming
sponsors: Leon Buijs
funded: December 12, 2009; used: March 24, 2010So that I can spend one day developing Mini vMac. To be used for food, rent, insurance, and utilities. (For a day on which I have at least 8 hours available for work.)

sponsors: Pedro Maciel, Greg Lee, ClockWise of E-Maculation
obtained: November 4, 2009Is supposed to better support Snow Leopard and Windows 7. I use VMware Fusion for all Windows and Linux development.
sponsors: ClockWise of E-Maculation
obtained: October 24, 2009Allows better support of this OS version, which will make me more comfortable about officially releasing Mini vMac 3.1.3 as the stable version. Also allows better support for Xcode 3.2, which requires Snow Leopard.
