[QUOTE="stsanford, post: 589040, member: 47445"] Jeez man, you jump in my head or what! Actually I did own a libretto back in the day and loved it. I took that 40GB Hard Drive out, bought an adapter and imaged the crap out of that sucker. Good thing too, I had 2 HDDs fail on me. I've been through the mini Sonys too (TR2AP was my last one) If the hoops to be gone through are Lack of DVD and Peripherals, I should be okay if I get the ext. DVD drive. I imagine a mini USB hub would be good too. As far as my main Windows software that I must run, It probably totals 10GB, I was thinking of Parallels especially since I'm a VMWare dude from the beginning, so it's a familiar paradigm to me (my exchange server is a VM as are images of most of my critical client installs) My main concern is whether running Parallels and WinXP with my main apps. (GoldMine primarily) will cream the processor / RAM too much to be an enjoyable experience. The thing about the MBA is that after you see / hold one you really don't want anything else... So you mention that you went a different path than what I'm looking at doing, what, may I ask, was your route to Mac Mecca? Thanks again for your pearls of wisdom, Scott [/QUOTE]
