[QUOTE="jprez1980, post: 312491, member: 26113"] Wow, fast responses! Kash: Feels good to be back, just have to relearn everything =) bobtomay: Good read, looks like I was wrong with my assumption on the price difference. I don't know what kind of PC notebook I came across at Fry's but it was pretty cheap and was supposedly a close match to the MacBook Pro. It wasn't a name brand I can tell you that. Ok, so now I have more questions...I know that Macs are not nearly as vulnerable to adware, spyware, viruses etc. But...is there not an anti-virus program for these machines or is it just not needed? After poking around Apple.com I was totally unaware that you can use Parallels and run Windows in Mac OSX. That is just awesome! This way I can still use my Dell AIO962 if I can't get it to work in OSX. Lastly, this may be an odd question, I'd like to use my personal laptop for work, but as such they have to install a corporate image of Windows XP Pro (I have no idea what differs in the corporate image they use) do you know if this image would work in/under Parallels? I'm not thrilled about having that put on my machine but I can't seem to find a Mac Cisco VPN alternative and I have to have that to connect at work. [/QUOTE]
