Charley helped me get my MacBook Pro set up with boot camp so it really dual boots into Windows XP or Mac OS 10.4. It’s working very stably with the virtual network from work on the windows side. That was the real reason for getting the Intel Mac in the first place, to have a machine from which I could connect to work, so I could work from home either in Newton or Casco. I’m keeping my fingers crossed, but it seems to be working properly now. When I was trying to run the virtual private network connection from Newton under the Parallels virtual machine, the connection was dropping after a few minutes or even after just a couple of mouse clicks.
