Hi Dave
I've now bought an iMac. I was going to get a used one but was tempted and now have a new one - very impressed but already had one casualty - my printer scanner won't work properly which is a shame, it'll scan but not preview. I looked at Fusion when Christof mentioned it but when I saw Price on Application I knew it would be too expensive for my simple needs 😊 John John Weller 01380 723235 07976393631 -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Dave Crozier Sent: 25 June 2018 10:15 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: VFP in Windows on a Mac John, Been using Mac here as laptop solution for 5 years now using Fusion FX (Basically VMWare Workstation) and never had any problems. The Fusion runs much quicker on the Macbook Pro (3 years old I7 with 16Gb) than native on my other laptop (Dell) and security/rollback is a cinch as I have automatic snapshots in Fusion for exactly the reason(s) you stated. I would never go back to a native windows laptop again apart from the SurfacePro which I find excellent for graphical work which Fusion FX isn't particularly strong on due to video card emulation which is not top end graphics. As for MacOSX it is simple and very intuitive and now I miss many of the touchpad swipe options available on the Mac when I occasionally move back to the Windows laptop. - hence buying a Logitech T650 touchpad which is almost as good as but not quite there! If you want to dabble in Linux/Unix/Xenix then the Mac is a really stable tool to learn on even though you really don't have to be proficient in command line antics if you don't want. In my experience, the only thing missing on the Macbook is a touch screen or stylus which will hopefully be remedied by the time I come to upgrade.
