Congrats...
...to Shalaney on the new iMac. I totally want one of those things!
Everything went smoothly. I wasn't really concerned that it wouldn't but I'd never used Bootcamp or an Intel Mac before for that matter so I was curious if it all lived up to the hype. It did.
First off, her iMac is lightning fast.
Next, Windows, for better or worse, is actually Windows. It's not emulated, it's not slower than normal or inhibited. Everything on the mac works in Windows, from the built-in webcam to the built-in wi-fi and bluetooth modules. Bootcamp also let us choose how much of the computer's hard drive we wanted dedicated to Windows.
Zoso was originally concerned about leaving Windows behind and Bootcamp was a selling point. I found it a little funny that once she had used Mac OSX for just 2 hours she was ready to toss Windows out for good. She was very reluctant to alot any hard drive space to Windows since everything had worked so well on the Mac OS.
I was rather proud of Windows in that it didn't crash or freeze immediately after installation like XP had a reputation for doing.
Zoso and I learned that writing in Japanese is definitely easier to set up on a Mac than a PC, and it appears that there is a lot of support for it already built into the OS. Go figure!
At any rate, I'm out. I haven't had much sleep! Later! Congrats again on the new Apple Zoso!

LOL Yes, I am even reluctant to switch over to Windows to install Photoshop. Jeff actually pointed me out to a free program that re-sizes my photos for me. I'm considering buying the CS3 at the end of April and just installing it on the Mac.
Thanks for all your help. I would've been completely lost if you hadn't come over to help me (again). I'm still bumbling around, but I'm sure I'll figure everything out over time. You're great! Thank you!
