In the same period I had a bidvertiser ad on every page of three websites that made 2 cents less than the cz.cc ad. There was 1 conversion per week for the cz.cc ad and 1 click biweekly on the bidvertiser. Now I have replaced the bidvertiser with the cz.cc ad and a cz.cc ad. Also in the rotation is a namecheap ad.

To disable Google Chrome’s Cache copy and paste the following into terminal on your Mac:
chmod 222 /Users/dmmcintyre3/Library/Caches/Google/Chrome/Default/Cache/index
chmod 222 /Users/dmmcintyre3/Library/Caches/Google/Chrome/Default/Media\ Cache/index
Click Here to Test but don’t clear any cache just reload the page without using the refresh button.

I have figured out the best way for it to work.

1: Configure the email receiving options.
2: Set your emall client to plain text, but write in HTML (I think using the HTML option in your email client would work, but rich text does not)
3:Set a cron job on your web host to wp-mail.php

Overall it’s great and I love it. The performance is so much better than the PowerBook and about the same as my hackintosh on the cpu front but graphics is so much faster on the MacBook Pro. (I was using a hacked version of the GMA x3100 driver that would not enable core image or quartz extreme)

Sound Issues:

The volume of the speakers does not go low enough. This issue my hackintosh had in Windows but not Mac. There is too big of a jump between the notches using the volume buttons on the keyboard. Also, in some games enabling hardware 3D sound causes it to die, often to come back temporarily when quitting the game. This would sometimes require a reboot to fix. Simply disabling hardware 3D in the sound options would fix the issue.
