well, I've just found out that - unofficially - the second of my three must have Adobe apps (that sparked this) will work under Bootcamp (but not parallels)... so I may just need an Intel Mac and a copy of WinXP after all... (I still don't get how that works - what about WinXP service packs?

Err Apple copied IBM .. so who's in the right here? (I'm also pretty sure typewriters have always had CNTRL key that pre-dates Apple Lisa... quick search on Wikipedia found a typewriter with it but it was 1989 photo so can't back this up). At any point, I love how Apple is put on this holy throne

I'm not sure what Apple copied from IBM. As understand it, Apple was heavily inspired by the work done at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (GUI and mouse to name a few) and that inspire Bill when Apple asked to provide software for the Mac. I guess everyone likes to their mark on things.

sadly no. these particullar apps (from what I can work out), are not only made just for Windows, but call down heavily into the hardware. It's the emulation that they don't work with. they may in fact work in a fashion under emulation on an Intel Mac, but it comes with no guarentee, and I can't

Barry, I reckon Parallels+Bootcamp on Mac-Intel would work pretty well for you. I had this set up running nicely on my MacbookPro (before it died). The 'emulation' as you put it was highly compatible. You can dual boot to windows using bootcamp. Or, use parallels to load the same os partition
