[QUOTE="khintul, post: 745812, member: 69800"] Bob, I'm a new Mac owner as well (3 weeks now), and just like you, I don't really want to load Windows on my Mac mini. What I've done, and it's working really well, is to use a KVM switch and have both my Mac and my Dell share the same monitor, keyboard and mouse. To toggle between operating systems I just hit a keyboard combination. So far I've been able to find pretty much acceptable Mac alternatives for most of my favorite applications, but the one thing I just have not been able to get around is my library's Overdrive service for downloading audiobooks. For that I just must have Windows, and so the KVM is really a great solution for me. Don't know whether this would be something that would work for you, but the switch was around $35 from Newegg.
