Well, Stephanie and I have new toys.  We got matching MacBooks!  It all came about when her laptop crashed for good.  We needed to get her a new computer, and with the travel back and forth, we decided that a laptop would work best.  I wanted her to have one that would travel easily, unlike the beast that she had.  We looked at Dell, Sony, and the MacBook.  

We were definitely looking for the system that gave us the most bang for the buck, and the features that we got for the price made the MacBook the only choice.  

The only other item that was left was that Steph really likes Outlook.  So, after looking at different options, I think we're going to settle on VMWare's new product, Fusion.  Fusion is the Mac equivalent to VMWare Workstation, which allows us to load up Microsoft Windows running under Mac OS X.  Then we can run Microsoft applications on the Mac.  

There are a couple of other solutions that are out there, and I've tried them (Parallels is one, and the other is the commercial version of WINE), and they just didn't seem to match up with what VMWare has to offer.  Maybe I'm biased, due to my experience with VMWare products in Windows, but I honestly feel that it works best for us.

Anyway, I know it's been a while since anything was posted, and this post is actually coming from the "blogger" widget that I got off of Google, so I'm interested in seeing how it looks!
