[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 356350, member: 2960"] And I will respectfully disagree here. The Mac with BootCamped WinXP is not perfect in this situation. The need for AutoCAD would require certain keyboard combinations and mouse clicking abilities that the Mac portable's keyboard and trackpad alone, cannot offer. These could be countered with some third-party add-ons, but even then, it still lacks. To simplify things, and further explain why BootCamp is not the answer to all of a person's Windows issues, consider this little parable: No, it isn't ideal. Wouldn't it have been simpler (and much smarter) to just use the boat on it's own? Sure you would have rather used the bike (Mac), but it simply wasn't the best option. The steps needed to "make" it the best option (BootCamp) were tedious and didn't make it a smart option at all. The boat (Windows computer) was the best option and tool for the job, yet you chose to alter the bike (BootCamped Mac) to get the job done. It would be much smarter to use the boat alone, especially if you have to do this on more than one occassion. [/QUOTE]
