Yes, the new iMacs do not, I repeat, do not, come with CD drives. Of course you can buy an external disc drive that will connect via USB. Apple sells them for around $80 but you can probably get them cheaper elsewhere.
Also, just one note, while VM Fusion does have a lot of advantages over a duel boot system, the downside is, as I understand it, that you then have less power running that operating system. The quad core processors of the iMac should be able to handle this fairly well, but it might be another reason for upgrading the RAM. Particularly if you use any memory intensive applications. Otherwise, your computer is essentially running two operating systems at once and that, I'm guessing, is quite resource intensive. That said though, you might decide this is worth it for the simplicity of using the virtual machine (i.e. VM Fusion). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
