[QUOTE="cnl50, post: 1625184, member: 290327"] I am faced with having to purchase and run a Windows-only program. The choices seem to be: 1) run Bootcamp on my new iMac (16GB ram) (I have a single-user edition of Windows 7 Home Premium I can install -- I think); or, 2) buy an inexpensive PC (e.g., Ansus 15.6-Inch Intel Dual Core Celeron 2.16 Ghz Laptop, 4GB RAM and 500GB Hard Drive). With the latter, I'd have to use an external drive to load the CD software program. I have a new Apple external USB drive. Will the Apple drive work for that purpose? What does the community think of the choices and which way I should go on this? (Not sure the small amount of memory is an issue, but I suspect that 4 GB should be okay.) Thanks. [/QUOTE]
