Most any Intel based Macs. Which is all since about 2005/6. > but will > MacOS allow the Windoze screen saver to take over the whole screen? Under VMware, if you go full-screen, then Windows gets the entire screen to play with. Otherwise just the application window. This works really well with a two monitor setup, dedicating one of the monitors to Windows. Parallels probably can do the same, though I haven't tried it. (As an aside: I usually launch Windows apps as well-behaving Mac apps: they live in what appear to be normal Mac OS X desktop application windows. If you click on a .doc file it can launch Windows-based MS Word to operate on it. I can ignore the fact that Windows is running in there somewhere.) -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
