    Parallels is a program that allows windows to run on a mac.
    I know, I know, I would rather do without windows, but I either keep a pc to run my sign software or I run it on the mac. The iMac screen is WAY better.

    I have VMware running on my MacBook. I found that it works better than Parallels. Oddly enough XP runs better, and more stable, through VMware on my Mac than it did on my Dell...go figure.

    I use two displays with my MacBook as one large display. Usually running XP or Linux on one and Mac on the other. I'm sure most who see it assume I am running two computers.

    Thanks Chef, I remember my son (who uses a mac) mentioned VM ware, thanks for the reminder. Yes, the comment about XP running faster is one I hear repeatedly.

    Congratulations on your first Mac! As a design professional, I wouldn't consider anything else.

    If you have problems or questions, here's another great resource: http://www.macosx.com
