Well as some of you know my DH makes a living on the computer. A couple of weeks ago he thought his monitor had gone belly up.... but a new one didn't do the job. Evidently the video/graphics part of the motherboard went. Tried to put in a new graphics/video card and that didn't work either. sigh. Now he finally got the laptop back from the friend who borrowed it(that is a long stress filled story in itself!), and plugged in his regular keyboard and bought a new ubc mouse to use. (The one we had is in the bag for the laptop, along with all the docs, etc. "Friend" wasn't using the bag, doesn't need manuals and isn't sure where the bag is......sigh)
Upshot is that DH hates Vista, doesn't want it at all. He is considering a Mac, but needs to know about loading XP on it instead of Vista. Possible?? How good is the Apple Crew at transferring stuff from a PC to a Mac?? How good is the Mac with Parallels at running all the Windows based software he already has?? (things like invoicing software and such.)
Thanks for your help. If you want to reply off list the address above is straight forward.
