I have been using PC boxes from the time of CP/M up until a year ago when, being so frustrated with VISTA, I got one of those sexy new 24" iMacs. I still 'had' to use my Sony/Vista machine for work since the software programs that I have to use are Windows based only. Also I have been using Outlook for all of my calendaring, email and note taking and I couldn't find a comparable Mac program that would import five years of data. I discovered that by using Parallels I could have both XP and OS10.5 running simultaneously and seamlessly. Two weeks ago I got my MacBook Pro and I thought it would take a couple of months to transition, being conditioned by Windows, but I was totally up and running within two days. I have taken the kool-aid and loved every drop.
