Hi,
Thanks. This is extremely encouraging news indeed. The speaker
thing is sort of annoying, though perhaps someone will find a
sollution for that sooner or later. Time to start saving up, I suppose.

Hey Josh
The Windows partition of the Mac works well. Very snappy response.
Just as fast or maybe faster than my Sony Vaio 2.6 gig processor. I'm
running it on a Macbook Pro 2.0 gig duo core with 2 gigs of RAM.
Running Wineyes 5.5 with Nuance Realspeak Karen (22Khz) SAPI 5 TTS
engine. Also, the windows partition is formatted to fat32 rather than
NTFS, so I can read and write to it from the apple OS. I have to use
an external bluetooth Apple keyboard or Logitech cordless windows
keyboard, because there is no insert key on the Macbook Pro and the fn
key isn't recognised. Also, the audio still comes out of the internal
speakers even when I plug in the headphone jack to run it through my
hi-fi system. Hope this helps.
Cheers
Thuy
