    Default To PC or not to PC

    Morning all,

    Today is D-day for me, in more ways than one, but the more important one is will my new Employer see the benefit of giving me a MBP 17" (like I have now), or will I loose out on this wonderful machine and be forced to take a "Generic" WinXP machine ... only time will tell.

    Hold thumbs on this one for me

    It is not me who has to make the decision ... the new Employer has to decide if they will be willing to fork out roundabout R10k extra for my Rig. Plus they use mostly M$ products, so we'll have to see how well I can convince them

    hehehe, can you just imagine:

    "Hey Mr. Boss, I know this native guy, right across the road in Soweto, he says you HAVE to give me a MAC. Ok, thank you, bye-bye"

    EDIT: and the thread title will then be changed to: To be PC or not to be PC

    I know, I run Parallels with a fully functioning WinXP VM.

    Crossover (beta in any case) is a mess, tried it, NOTHING worked, so I chucked it. Parallels runs winxp perfectly

    EDIT: but the R10k extra might stop it

    Definitely, and their policies for their reasons. Look, I don't blame them, as I know what a mess it can turn into if everyone demands their own machines. Just disappointed
