I run Parallels at work for some windows apps that I need but don't want to
deal with another box near the desk. The current version lets you run windows
apps in a floating window, basically seamless integration into the desktop.
The only way you know it's a windows window is the bulbous cartoon buttons in
the corners 8^).
It beats rebooting hands down, especially when the IT guys want us to reboot

it from a PC..'cuz it is a PC then.
It's the way to go...two boxes in one. depending whether you hold the
Option button during start-up or not.
And price-wise, by the time you load up a Windows box with the same
sound and video features, you're talking the same money as a Mac.
Seriously.
I NEVAR go on line in Windows mode..too dangerous. Besides, I find XP
pretty solid. There's not nearly the difference between XP and MacOS
that there used to be in days of yore. So it is easy for Windows users
to come on over to the 'good' side.

president of a mac user group here in Sarnia, I changed the name to
Sarnia Mac Users Group..SMUG...you got it...lol.
