Hello. I'm limited on what I can answer per the guidelines of the list, but I personally love vmware fusion as I can "flip" between operating systems, how ever, I have a radio that takes a serial connection and for me Vmware does not play nice. That's the only disadvantage of vmware for me.
bootcamp is quite easy to install with out site. I modified an applevis guide to make it a bit easier to read. I'll email that to you off list so as not to get in to trouble. If I don't get to it by next week fire me an email off list and remind me. I'm going out of town on business, but I will get that to you soon. The other disadvantage btw about boot camp is if you need to shrink the partition, let's say you made it too big, I have not found a way to do it in such a way to reallocate safely, but I could be wrong. I'm still learning the mac and all it can do after 5 years owning one, and that's way cool! I'm not known for my long replies so with that I hope that helps. Blessings and happy Sunday. > On Apr 26, 2015, at 10:55 PM, Brian Hartgen <brianhart...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi > > > > I received my first Mac on Saturday.
