[Year 12 IT Apps] OT - Dual-booting Macs

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Come on down to our school or get your technicians to visit. You don't need
to spend thousands and it was easy to setup once I got my head around how it
works. Most of the clues we picked up were initially provided by Ros on this
very mailing list who was a gem of advice (delivering a huge plate of sushi
at the time) We really owe her something for this!

If there is enough interest, I could later run a free workshop that details
what we did and how we did it. For now, I can put you in touch with a group
and technician who can provide specialist support and training. The poor
chap has been run off his feet with the veritable explosion of Apple Mac
installations that are going on around Victoria, trying to set things up the
'right' and best way.

Regards Roland (Westall SC)
