color=#0000ff size=2>I've heard from a colleague that a MM Coordinator at Oberon
has been runnng dual systems and managing a MM lab without issue. In terms of
network problems it probably depends on your tech support and how flexible and
willing they are to help. As far as I'm concerned we have enough trouble as it
is keeping the Lenovo/IBMs networking, so a Mac couldn't be any
worse.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>From my research I would be using Boot Camp to create a
dual boot system with completely self-contained Windows XP or Vista
installation. If all else fails, when you want it to be a PC you just boot it to
run Windows in native mode.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=746032101-18062008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>But better yet, purchase Parallels Desktop for Mac. As well
as still allowing a native Windows bootup, Parallels will run Mac OS and Windows
side by side. In concurrance mode you can actually run individual Windows apps
alongside Mac apps and do things like copy and paste between
them.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>As a sysadmin person, I'd be ramping up to the full 4GB RAM
and a larger HDD, but even that's not toally necessary for a normal staff
notebook. If you buy 4GB upgrade from Apple it will cost nearly $500, but the
same certified RAM from a Melbourne eBay shop is around $150. Still don't like
Apple's ethics, but they now make a great PC.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
