if there are none is this an actual case of the best of both?

Chad_t: I am a Mac person...not a windows person. I do use Windows for Mac (for when I send things to PC users)...I don't usually run into

many limitations.

macs...I promise if you give it a chance you will like it more than a PC. I *am* partial, however! I do feel that it gives you greater

creative capabilities.

I have a Macbook Pro & use PD with it only when I have too, like right now. My phone is my modem & Alltel only has software to run on a PC.

sucks, but if I want internet at home, it's what I have to do.

says I also agree with KimberlyW

omg...Howie is agreeing with me?!?!?

glad to hear that from both of you so far I must say I am impressed....Which model of mac would you suggest (if model is the right word)

Chad_t: she's a bit , but she's also

Pro

thanks i'll plurk with any more Q's as I run into them.

Chad_t: Love my MacBook Pro, it is truly worth the extra cash...I think so anyway. Please do feel free to ask any other questions...

BTW, welcome to the *light* side (as opposed the the dark PC side)

Go with VMware fusion for your VM. It supports more advanced video, and supports peripherals better than Parallels, IMHO.

Beauty part- when you get XP set up the way you like it -snapshot it and WHEN it gets pooched, you can just replace the VM file.

HowieGee: you can use alltel with the mac side - you're probably using motorola phone tools? Mac has a built in BlueTooth Cell Data

Connection

- I know a few using it and it works well

Chad_t: You can run windows xp as a stand alone to where you boot only to window, but if you use both at same time and speed becomes an

issue - don't connect vmware fusion to bootcamp, creating a virtual only instance is much faster (faster that way too then our lenovos)

when running windows inside of mac at the same time..... ( did I confuse anyone?)
