Ted,
I'm sure you know this already, but if you have an Intel-based Mac, you
already own the best Windows computer for the money. Buy a copy of
whatever flavor of Windows you prefer and use Boot Camp to boot your Mac
directly into Windows. It'll run Windows natively, and better than most
Windows machines.
I know that finding ham stuff for the Mac can be frustrating, but it can
be done. I only run Macs in my shack exclusively, and the only reason I
ever run Windows on them is when I have to program my HTs. My logging
programs, etc. are all OSX programs and free ones at that. I don't
venture too far into the esoteric operating-wise, though...
Good luck!
73,
Scott, N9AA

OK; I give up. Trying to use a Mac at the station QTH is just too much trouble
- too much of the good stuff doesn't come in the Apple flavor. Even the Dell
monitor I just bought for the P3 SVGA doesn't come with drivers for Mac OS,
which limits some of the tricks the monitor can play. So, advice please - what
is the smallest (physically the smallest) Winows-running computer other than a
laptop or an all-in-one that would serve well for all of the computer control,
logging, and etc. goodies one might reasonably hang on a K-line station? Real
estate on my desk is at a real premium, and knee-hole space is even less. (The
Dell Inspirion 3000 small format is too big.)
Thanks in advance . . .
