Hey, that's pretty good, actually. The mini uses an Intel graphics chipset
doesn't it? And shares vRAM with system RAM?

You don't like MT Newswatcher for OS X. An old application but still runs fine
on Tiger. I've used it for years. I've got one (two) specialized apps I want to
run on Wintel, both for business, and I'll have to load MS Office as well
(since that works with one of the business applications). Nothing too
stressful.

By the way, in Parallels, can you share files with OS X or are you unable to
access them? Copy/Paste? I read a review of it recently and it sounded quite
good, very flexible, stable, fast. And it provided a number of features you
obviously can't get with BootCamp. r.
