Hello, My company is a Apple value add reseller and not only do we sell Apple computers, but we custom configure them for no additional charge. This means if you want a VMWare fusion set-up we will install the version of Windows that you want and custom configure using some tricks that we've learned in house that help with smoothly switching back and forth between the Apple and Microsoft environments. Everybody who purchase a Mac from us also gets a free copy of the Mac Academy Workbook and Study Guide along with 17 audio learning modules in MP3 format.
There are a couple ways to go about setting-up a scan and read system using off the shelf mainstream technology, but given what you said about your reliance on K1000 as a student, perhaps it would be prudent to install K1000 on the Windows side, and then perhaps purchasing the Eye-Pal camera which can be used either on the Mac or the Windows Side. Although Eye-Pal was eventually ported into an X11 Application using something called WINE and is not coded in the native Apple environment but recognition is good and fast. Feel free to contact me directly off list if you have any questions whatsoever. Best, Earle Harrison Handy Tech North America 651-636-5184 On Feb 16, 2011, at 10:11 AM, Caitlyn and Nickels wrote: > Hi, > > We have been kicking around the idea of getting a couple of new macs for a > couple of weeks now since bothour pc's are not working that great anymore. > The main thing that is holding us back is our heavy reliance on Kurzweil.
