[Discussion] Thinking of going IMAC

[Gerry Chilibeck]

OK, 15 years of OS/2 and eCS and it is time for a change and challenge.
I have had a 2Gh desktop hand made that still runs like a top and just
have had no need for eCS R2 because my hardware is still so good
after 7 years. (runing now still on 1.2R)

I do not relish the need of researching Video cards and drivers,
printers, ACPI bioses, buggy Lucide and Flash, etc....etc.

SO, thinking of going to IMAC  27", 1 tb hd and then using Parallels
V5 and loading Snow Leopard v10.6, eCS GA and winXP.

I am reasonably tech competent dealing with eCS and win95/XP
to a lesser extent.   I have never done any virtualization stuff of any kind.

So, has anyone here done what I am thinking of doing on any MAC??

Is Parallels Desktop for MAC a major or minor install challenge??

On Parallels lists, there is this thread that said eCS RC5 installed on
Parallels 4.0 just fine.

Don Burch....Have you tried it ??

I need to keep eCS for KeyRing/2, LSS and just the greatest WPshell.
