    Well bugger me!

    It is with great astonishment that I have to confess to being astounded with the Mac interface.

    I used one yesterday, for about an hour (before realising that I'd been sold the wrong one and having to box it up and take it back), and was nothing short of amazed.

    I think I might buy myself one.

    Now - what's the virtualisation software that the Congregation bang on about? Anyone used VirtualBox?

    Politicians are wonderfull people, as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, like working for a living!

          Parallels here too - I've also used VMWare but it seemed to bog the system down for the first ten minutes or so (both the Windows and OS X sides), whereas Parallels always seems to keep things running pretty smoothly.

                    Indeed - but at least with virtualisation you can just keep a copy of the nice, clean, fresh build and replace it every six weeks when Windows is firked.
