Hey Greg,

If I'm not hijacking the conversation, I'd really like to spend a few moments discussing Parallel. I am in the process of converting Tri-County to Macintosh and we're going to have to run either Boot Camp or Parallel for two programs that are essential to our operations. From what I gather, Boot Camp gives you an either/or option which basically doesn't work for us in terms of efficiency. I can't have my staff rebooting every time they want to switch platforms. But Parallel is actually nothing more than an emulator and my experience with emulators (specifically Virtual PC) left a great deal to be desired. Furthermore, I've heard that Parallel actually tends to dominate certain functions (e.g. the CD drive) and can sometimes be a bit tempermental in terms of allowing a user to transfer data from a Windows program over to the OS X side. Any thoughts on these subjects?
