I just got rid of the last Windows box in the house. Bought an Intel Mac Mini and put Parallels on it. It was a machine my wife used a lot, so I leave the Windows VM up in full screen mode most of the time. But she can now Alt-Enter back to Aqua and run iTunes, iPhoto, etc., so I hope to wean her away from Windows. -T -- Tarus Balog The OpenNMS Group, Inc.
