How do you type a schwa on a us keyboard using the windows OS?

To type ə, hold down the Alt key and type 0601 on the number pad.

Ensure that numlock is on. You must use the number pad and not the numbers across the top of the keyboard.


This is a unicode character and will not display properly in all contexts. For example, it works in Wordpad, but not in Notepad.


If you are having trouble getting this to work, you can launch the Windows "Character Map". On my system it is located at "Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools" (this may vary with different versions of Windows).


In the Character Map, locate the Schwa symbol, you may then select it, and copy it for pasting someplace else.


Also you notice, when the Schwa is selected in the Character Map, the status bar reads U+0259. 259 is the Unicode number for this symbol in hexadecimal. 0x259 converted into decimal is 601, which is the code typed on the number pad. This can be used to type any Unicode character, if you are using an application that supports Unicode.

What is the relationship between a guest operating system and a host operating system in a system like VMware what factors need to be considered in choosing the host operating system?

A host operating system is the operating system that is in direct communication with the hardware. It has direct hardware access to kernel mode and all of the devices on the physical machine. The guest operating system runs on top of a virtualization layer and all of the physical devices are virtualized. A host operating system should be as modular and thin as possible to allow the virtualization of the hardware to be as close to the physical hardware as possible, and so that dependencies that exist in the host operating don't restrict operation in the guest operating system.

Are there more software applications available for the Mac OS than for Windows-based PCs?

It is not known how many applications are available. As there are more computers that use Windows than Mac OS it is often assumed that there are more applications for Windows systems but the vast majority of these computers are in offices and just use standard Microsoft Office type software (which is also available for the Mac) and so do not expand the market for software applications; indeed to reduce the risk of viral infection most business' prohibit the installation of other software on their computers. Many of the major software companies produce their software in versions for both systems.

What is the difference between Static IP and Public IP?

A computer on the Internet is identified by its IP address. In order to avoid address conflicts, IP addresses are publicly registered with the Network Information Centre (NIC). Computers on private TCP/IP LANs however do not need public addresses, since they do not need to be accessed by the public. For this reason, the NIC has reserved certain addresses that will never be registered publicly. These are known as private IP addresses, and are found in the following ranges:

From 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255

From 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255

From 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

What is a product key for any Microsoft software including Windows?

The serial is either on the back of a CD case for the software, or it will be in the documentation. Microsoft may also place it on a certificate of authenticity for Windows. You will know it is the key because it will be a mix of letters and/or numbers separated by dashes, usually about 25 characters long. You must have the key in order to install the software. You must install the software in order to use it. Therefore you can't install or use the software without this key. Installation will have a series of on screen instructions for you to follow. One of the boxes will request the key and have white boxes for you to type the key into. Type it in and click next or continue - whichever the button says - and the installation will continue.

The activation code is given to you when you first launch the software after installation. You will only have to enter this once. You have the option of using Internet activation - which is the quickest and easiest - phone or mail activation. If you choose to do it by phone, choose the country you live in then it will give you a phone number to call. Call the number and give them your serial number and the activation number - both of which will be listed on the screen where you can easily see it. They will then give you the activation code that you will need to enter into the white boxes. Whichever you choose - Internet, phone, or mail - just follow the onscreen instructions to get the code. Contact Microsoft customer support to obtain a new key if you have misplaced yours. They will probably need some sort of verification, such as original receipt or bar code on the box or even the certificate of authenticity number. Of course, they will instruct you on how to obtain a new key and what is needed by you. Downloading the software without purchasing (retail versions) is illegal and it is called piracy. It is also illegal to use a key that you did not purchase because in this case you did not have to purchase the software either. Even if you have purchased the software and you use the Internet to find a key and use it - it is illegal - because if you really did purchase the software, Microsoft will help you obtain a new one. It is also illegal to use key generators (keygens), cracks, and no-CD cracks.

Note: This is a catch-all question. Neither it nor its alternatives should be deleted. It should also remain protected.
Every legitimate copy of the software has its own UNIQUE product key. If you have copied the software - you are committing piracy and the law-abiding members of the Wiki community will not help you.

To import your Windows Media Library to iTunes, you will first need to know what folder the songs are in. If you know that, you are all set...

If you do know what folder you songs are in, open iTunes, go to file, then click on "Import File" or you may have to go to the "Library" tab and do the same.
