Example conversation below (info-LabVIEW mailing list (NI means National Instruments). Very provocative. Investigate MackBook Pro and Parallels.
I am a Mac fanboi from way back, but all my users are Windows. Many of my apps require NI image acquisition as well, which is not available on the Mac OS. So I am using Parallels and XP on a MacBook Pro for lots of my development. (Not when I need to run the video cards, of course.) Parallels is fine. I have it set so that right-click is ctrl-shift click, which you get used to very quickly. Cntl-drag for cloning and everything else works fine. Files go easily back and forth to the Mac side, so I can use all the various support apps there, instead of in XP (web, file manipulation, Matlab, etc). I used to have a separate IBM laptop. I haven't opened it for months and months. David On Thu, Oct 9, 2008 at 12:17 PM, Michael Ross <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Many people run mutlple operating systems on Macs.
