Get Parallels Boot Camp...now my Mac Pro is Windows 7 capable too...best of both worlds...

:yes: :biggrin:

I gotta get used to this Windows Explorer browser though...but it should be awesome for a bigger inventory of games...cheaper priced too...

:grin:

I have VMWare Fusion installed on my work Mac Pro. I run an eblast software program with it for some of the smaller eblasts we run at work. Works pretty good. Don't really like working in Windows, but for the little I use it, no complaints

Yeah, you darn PCee user! You do know what PC stands for, don't you??

Problem Computer or Piece of Crap, depending on what mood you are in.

MAC stands for Most Awesome Computer. And don't you forget it!

I just wanted Windows to open lots of stuff that my friends send me, also for documents, and of course games, they are much cheaper and more of them.

But for my graphics work (and surfing the net)...Mac OSX Snow Leopard takes over in a nano-second...

Hector - are you talking about the winmail.dat files that outlook sometimes creates? I've been using this free app called TNEF's Enough to open those.

Hey now, you shoulda told me that. C64's are VERY cool! I actually wrote a full program on a C64 for a school assignment back in the day.

My first foray on the net was with a C64 that had a 300 baud modem! I accessed some hobby groups on Compuserve and VERY early AOL. All text only, no images. A small image probably would have taken 30 minutes to display with that speed modem!

Ohhhhh - fancy! :grin:

I might actually look into this!

I never thought about bootcamp much before because I don't play games on my computer. There is one is one PC only app that might help me with an upcoming project though - so this is very interesting...

Yeah, it works great for me with my eblast software. I couldn't find a Mac program for eblasts so this was the next best thing

Yeah, it's great to open up Windows files and stuff...and play the games.

But Snow Leopard poops all over Windows 7...I mean...it's like a fleet of modern aircraft carriers vs one remote control toy boat from a 13 year old boy...

I heard for every Mac sold..Steve Jobs takes the extra 1000 bucks that gets spent more than the computer should have cost and buys another South American child and sacrifices him in a volcano for his eternal life. Pretty darn callous of you Apple users IMHO....

I actually like the Corel family of programs better than Adobe, so I use those on a PC to design with, but I begrudge no one their preference. To be honest I think of both as computers.
