Naaa, needs to be replaced. I think it was dropped or soemthing
before I got it. THe keyboard has always had one spot if you tap on
it, you can raddle it nicely. I think its so damned thin the fan is
probably as thick as the case. Its one of the Evo400 modles.

Oh man I just thought of it. I wonder if I could talk my employer
in to getting me an Intel Imac and letting me have both on my desk
and I can get rid of that piece of garbage HP laptop they gave me.
No not an Imac, a Pro Book that's what I want. The HP laptop is so
poorly built, I can shake it slightly and get the fan and stuff
raddling in there. I even can put just a little pressure on the
external cdrom drive and stop the cd from spining. I found that out
by accident today. grin

Hi
Well, if you don't have any special software that only runs on
windows, I can see no need to do this. Say, however, that you have
a certain piece of software that you need and it only runs on
Windows and there's no real Mac equivalent to it? Yet, you don't
want two computers around. So you make a small Windows
installation and now you can run that program. I know, it's
difficult to imagine, but it is certainly possible--a proprietary
windows database that must be used for your job, for instance,
would fall under this category.
My only question is will Apple provide a filesystem driver so that
you can access all of your documents on your OS X partition under
Windows? Without this I can see its use being a bit of a pain,
though still doable. I don't have an Intel-based Mac or I'd try it
for the hell of it. But I now have an iron-clad excuse to sell my
Windows PCs for good. Finally! Then get myself a nice iMac.

Well, as someone who switched from the PC and Windows to the Mac
I am left wondering why I would want to even bother with this.
Sure, there might be a few things I can more easily do on a
Windows based PC that are more difficult on a Mac but this just
sounds dumb to me. I see the point made here that VR agencies
and others might go for this but aren't you making your beautiful
Mac sesuptable to the very problems we are so proud that our Macs
are free of. Viruses, worms and the like. While my Mac is pre-
intel by a month or two, there is no way in hell I would put
Windows XP on one if I had one. Sounds very strange that anyone
on this list would support this. Sure, it was a neat contest to
hack the Windows and Intel Mac system and I'd try it too if I had
the ability and be happy if I walked away with the $13,000 prize
that was out there. But, its been done and so what. I'm just
not sure why you would do this at all.
