My MacBook Pro has been going sweet ever since i bought it from Sirix, god knows how long ago now.
I run games via Parallels, it works fine. There is a new VMWare out which is meant to be better but Parallels does the trick.
I will never own a PC again. I ditched the PC mazda gave me and just use the apple vpn client for the Mazda Intranet etc.. it is Bloody Terrific*.
*no pun intended
