I hope this touches enough on how we use Macs to not be considered off topic. My sense of the Boot Camp vs. Parallels issue at the moment is that Parallels probably makes more sense to most users except for those interested in full frame rates in 3D blood and gore games. However, there's one thing that puzzles me about Parallels, and I don't know how to make an inquiry at their website (cannot find a link to ask questions). Even in the release version, they only support USB 1.1. My guess is that this will dramatically impact pda users who use things that require USB synchronization, such as Windows Mobile devices, or USB storage devices. Anyone know where I can learn more about this? Are there active Mac/Windows listservs that I might subscribe to to understand this better? I have Boot Camp installed on my MacBook Pro, and I've used it enough to tire of rebooting to switch operating systems. Jim Robertson --
