re: family album tricks for new Dells

Yes, this sounds similar to what I described a week or so ago for my new
Mac PowerBook G3, using the family album via emulation by "Virtual PC95".
Except that on _my_ "virtual 1280x1024 desktop", I can only view the family
album by dragging the Mac window. How do you get it (the desktop) to scroll
in Windows? For me to have scrolling ability, I need to use a Mac shareware
utility called Virtual Desktop.
