[QUOTE="floridaguy, post: 942296, member: 131223"] Tonight I talked to the friend that got me going down this track and shared with her all of your thoughts. She had an interesting and useful perspective. I am really thinking of the Macbook as a travel computer so maybe I have to stop being so worried about it doing everything. Just put what I need on the road on the Macbook. Use that as my travel computer and stick with the PC at home. Most of my 10 email addresses I don't need on the road so maybe I don't need all of Outlook's functionality there. I would want to be able to keep up on my Quicken entries so I would need Parallels for that. Also the Mac version of my Garmin GPS mapping software is not good so I'd run that in Windows 7 as well. I'm still not sure if I can justify buying the Mac version of office for my travel needs or if I should just use the PC version in Parallels. I am trying to decide which version of the Macbook I would want for this type of use. My other uses such as showing pictures etc. to family and friends are obviously well suited to the Mac. Thoughts on any of this? [/QUOTE]
