I totally agree with you. The Mac just doesn't quite cut it where serious productivity is concerned. Though in my case I'm quite happy to run two computers as my windows 7 machine is all set up with what I need for my medical transcription studies. Debbie -Original Message- From:

It all depends on what you need and what you are willing to learn. I have a friend who does medical transcription on the mac full time. And when I ran my vending business, numbers did what I needed it to do for my ledgers replacing excel. Most people who think the mac can't get the job done,

Bootcamp versus VMWare Fusion is an old debate, and many, many articles exist online that can tell you the benefits of each far better than I can. I won't go into the details here, then. Buying Windows is needlessly complex if you want Windows 7 still. If you are okay with jumping into Windows
