[vet-mm] RE: Dual Boot Macs

[nic ryan]

I use an older G4 macbook using Virtual PC to emulate XP for Markbook reporting.  I love
my mac, but I'm able to support myself and the few other mac users at my school- I'm no
expert but I generally get by.  The emulation solution isn't ideal as its slow.

The new macs offer the option of dual boot option as they are intel macs this should be
faster and also offer the fall back position if the mac becomes too challenging for the
techs or you.

Of course it would be nid=c if they released the specs on the mac to help make your
decision.

Have fun.
