[QUOTE="voiceofra, post: 340279, member: 28040"] My old office was like that...with the exception of myself and two other people, it was all PC. As far as the right-click thing - use any USB 2/3 button mouse with your Mac. Right clicking will give you the same functionality you know in Windows (context menus, etc etc). I'm using the same Optical USB mouse I had with my PC from years ago. Weakness on the Mac side? Hmm...well, you won't get to deal with all those Windows viruses. You might have to wait for a Mac-native version of that cool new game (but the tide is changing - several developers release a Mac version at the same time as their Windows version). Definitely check out Parallels or VMWare Fusion if you need to run that pesky Windows-only application or need to connect to your employer's Microsoft-centric IIS servers. When I was telecommuting, I would have to run XP in Parallels so I could connect to Remote Workplace or check my mail with Outlook Web Access. My MacBook fills 99.9999999999999999999998% of my computing needs. The rest of it is done with VMWare Fusion and a bare minimum install of MS XP (but I also use Fusion to run FreeBSD and Linux on my MacBook). [/QUOTE]
