Hi guys. I realize this is some extra money, but if I ever have to run Windows because I really need a program I can’t get on the Mac, I have thought that I would just spring for a little Windows laptop. I know you can put windows on the Mac, but I have read a little about what some of you have done, and I think that if ever have to do it, I would rather have a separate system running the Windows program. I still have JAWS, and I could just update it. The Mac and Windows computers can read files produced on the other one, so I see no real advantage to mixing the systems. Maybe I am wrong about that, but at this point, I’m going to stick with iWorks.
