I use Parallels to run Windows XP and Legacy on my Mac. With Parallels, I can access "shared folders" on both my Mac and XP so that, from Legacy, I can actually save files directly to my Mac folders (desktop, documents, home, etc.) for easy access. Does Fusions have something similar? If no

ClearPrint is an addon that Msoft offers so that the print edges don't look jaggy. It comes with later releases of XP and 2000 but I think there are/were downloads on Msoft's site for it. In XP it is not automatically turned on. You have to go through the desktop setup and click the advanced tab
