[Discussion] Thinking of going IMAC

[Krampetz at aol.com]

If you have the money (double & up vs  PC prices, 
more like triple & up for software),  and the patience 
to deal with an inflexible OS..  (why do you think the
non-techies like 'em?)     Enjoy..

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.
