SpaceGhost Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Ha Ha! :thumbup: I like my iPad also. Macs aren't that radically different from windows. Get you a copy of VMware Fusion 3 and load Windows7 on the MacBook Pro and iMac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Although the new iPad "iPad2" should be out in March/April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 What is better about VMware than Bootcamp? You don't have to log off OSX to use windows for the brief seconds you need to do so, and you don't have to partition the hard drive and lose the space reserved for the entire computer. You can minimize your VM and have it waiting for use in the background. 4GB of ram is plenty to do so, and Macs now pretty much come standard now with 4GB. Also once you load windows you can move the entire Virtual Machine to a new mac via drag and drop. You don't have to reload windows. Also if you have a file on the mac in the OSX drive structure, you can go get it in windows since it shares the OSX files as a shared drive. Mine boots up just as fast as if I started the PC on windows, and shuts down just as quick, I own the slowest mac they make, and only have 2GB of ram, the one's he has are way faster than mine. Mine is 2 years old going on 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The partition sucks, but she has to do nothing other than turn the laptop on to boot up to Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Eric, congrats on the new purchases. They should last quite a while. A good source of info is: http://www.macrumors.com If you have questions you can PM me too I will do my best to help you. Next you guys might want to look into a "TimeCapsule" it is a Wired and Wireless N router that contains a 1TB or 2TB HardDrive, it also has dual radios so you can run a home wireless network and a guest wireless network when people come over it keeps them away from your Macs. It will automatically back up your MacBook Pro, and iMac over a wireless network with the software that comes on every Mac called Time Machine.
