I have seen people suggest on some forums that Parallels is slow. I suspect that may be what I am running into and don't realize what is displeasing me, I think it's a bit clunky and clumsy. Boot Camp does a great job. It's just the unfortunate business of rebooting. However, to give the Mac credit, it doesn't take all the shenanigans coming up and shutting down that we are familiar with with Windows. This is my first Mac. I think they've convinced me. As long as I could move that mail, too much time and energy expended there on genealogy research and associated mailing lists, I knew I would be happy. Once that was accomplished most everything else was bound to fall into place. I will be leaving some programming I enjoy, and a lot of it has been freeware. But with the reboot, I am not excluded from continuing to work with the programs while using the Apple to discover what's out there. I gave Windows almost half of the 100GB. As I move more and more toward Apple, I can downsize the Windows partition and increase the Mac side. I think the intel Macs are still evolving and I hope I didn't buy too early. I usually don't replace computers until I have wrung about three years of hard duty out of them. Some of the things I am doing, I suspect, will be built in before those three years go by. I think that Boot Camp might be destined for the next Mac OS. The current issue of MacWorld has BootCamp mentioned on cover, but I haven't yet taken a lot at the article. You might want to stop by a newstand and take a look. -- Elaine ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.80.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
