Done and done. The hard drive upgrade went very well. Once I got all my mac apps installed, then I moved on to installing VMWare Fusion. I’ve been reading some great things about this, and they have been doing VM pretty longer than anyone, so I thought I’d try it. Bonus is that it is $30 cheaper than Parallels.
So far so good. Since I only need a few apps installed on this machine, it didn’t take long. VNC, firefox, pcanywhere and possibly Word and Excel. That’s really about it. I could install more if need be, but I don’t want to spend more time here than I really have to. I mostly need it for work, so I’ll keep work stuff on it.
It was really too easy. A bit spendy to get it all done, but for a grand total of less than $1500 (Macbook w/2GB of RAM, 120GB Hard drive, WinXP Pro, VMWare), I know have a machine that runs anything I want. heck, I might even set up an Ubuntu machine too, since I can.
