It adds a Windoze OS on the Mac so you can run your software. It's been out for many years yet few PC users are aware that it exists. Since it is not an Apple program, they don't advertise you can run both OS's on the same computer and at the same time. Worthwhile to google Virtual PC for more info. I haven't used Virtual PC as I've used Mac's since 1987 but there should be some one this forum who has. You'll also find with running OSX on a Mac is actually running UNIX. Very stable. The 20" flat screens very color accurate. All your peripherals should work but you may have to goto mfg's for driver downloads. Everything is USB & Firewire today so that shouldn't be a problem hooking up you existing hardware. http://www.apple.com/retail/ for list of Apple Stores close to you where you can go in & play with them. There should also be plenty of savvy kiddies at USC in Columbia that may also be able to help you out locally.
