The issue of Legacy on a Mac. You will have to install a Windows operating systems on the Mac - Yes that will cost you upwards of $200 (Windows 7 Home Premium for example). Bootcamp is free which allows you to install Windows and run windows programs. Paralles & Fusion cost $80.
So, the extra price to run Windows on a Mac is about $300. That's not bad, since you will also pay about twice the price for a Mac compared to a PC. An excellent PC 15" laptop these days runs about $650. A 15" MacBook Pro starts at $1700. Take lots of $$ to the Mac store. ___ Leon Chapman chap...@gmail.com ----- On Sun, Jan 24, 2010 at 8:08 AM, Anne Brooks <anbro...@nbnet.nb.ca> wrote: > This is just a request for general information.
