Mike - I run a Flex1500 with a MacBook Pro running a 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo with Bootcamp. It handles the Flex 1500 beautifully with no compatibility problems. With Bootcamp, there is no apparent difference to a Windows machine, except it boots a lot faster. Shoot me an e-mail if you have other questions. - Duffey KK6MC On May 29, 2011, at 6:14 PM, Michael Goins wrote:
