Welcome to the Dark Side. You will soon see our quest is a righteous one. I have been using Parallels with decent results, but recent articles indicate Vmware Xfusion has been improved to the point where it is better. I will be interested to hear what you find.
Be certain to set up Time Machine with an external HDD for file/system backups. Some external HDDs allow you to turn off power saving sleep functions. You may need to do that as I have found not all HDD units will wake up with all OS platforms. Soon we may need to goad Ed into setting up a ProMac list! Heh-heh.

Well, Guys, It’s that time of the year when the laptop needs updating as it is not 2 years old (2Ghz 15” widescreen Gateway Centrino single core with 2Gb ram and 200Gb disk) so last night I decided to take the plunge and replace it. As luck would have it my colleague who works as a freelance designer mentioned that he wanted to get rid of his Macbook so we’ve done a deal. It’s a 3 month old 2.5Ghz dual core 17” screen Macbook Pro with 4Gb ram, 320Gb disk (7200rpm) the top of the range HD screen, 3 years Applecare extended warranty and all for £800 (about $1,200) so I THINK I’ve got a good deal – maybe others will confirm that. In addition he’s throwing in VXFusion to run Windblows and Parallels as well as the latest Microsoft Office, a full Adobe suite and Photoshop legit disks and a hard and soft carrying case. So, over the weekend I'll be giving it a good workout and discovering all these goodies that Ed keeps on going on about. You never know I may even become a Mac convert. Still, as long as I can run VFP on it that's all I'm concerned about at the moment as everything else is a bonus.
