There was a time when programs were only for windows. But now if a software company doesn't make a mac version, they are loosing out on a lot of customers.

All my collaboration is done using web-based platforms. My corporate clients still use some Windows-based proprietary software. If I have to get involved in that arena, I've got Parallels loaded on here. The simplicity and elegance of the Apple stuff is a sensory pleasure. Viruses are really a non-issue. And for anyone doing website development or graphics work, it's a no-brainer. Having said that, I keep an old Windows laptop in a drawer just in case. In case of what? Heck, I don't know. But i'm addicted to technology, too. Keep those techo-juices flowing out there in State College... Hey, Brent,
